NEW DELHI: Australia’s star batter Travis Head shared his pick for the hottest Indian player ahead of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). While discussing India’s pace attack, Head commented that Jasprit Bumrah “has some work to do on himself.”
When it came to choosing the hottest player – combining physical attractiveness and cricketing skill – Head didn’t hesitate to name India’s captain, Rohit Sharma. Praising Rohit’s style and prowess, Head hailed him as the ultimate package on and off the field.
“I don’t think he’s that good-looking. Potentially [he’s got some work to do]. I think there’s been hotter. I like Rohit’s work and I am happy with the Dad setup, I think he’s got the most style out of all of them. He stands at the top, takes them on, double stepping blokes in the powerplay. Both [physical attractiveness and cricketing skills],” Head said while speaking on 7 Cricket.
“I think people will [find him attractive]. Yeah, I just like the way he gets about it, Yeah, around the sheds. I am happy with it, I am happy with his setup. Jasprit, got some work to do. Maybe, after the Test matches [you pass that on],” he added.
