In what has now become a recurring nightmare for Travis Head, the Australian opener once again failed to deliver against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), falling for just 4 runs off 2 balls in the IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). But it wasn’t just his wicket that made headlines — it was what KKR posted online after the match that grabbed major attention.
KKR Takes a Direct Dig at Travis Head After 80-Run Win
After KKR’s dominant 80-run victory over SRH at Eden Gardens, their official social media handle shared a cheeky post aimed directly at Travis Head. The post on X (formerly Twitter) read:
“Head-ing towards the business, right from the start.”
The post included a breakdown of Head’s poor recent performances against KKR:
- 0 (2) – IPL 2024 Qualifier
- 0 (4) – IPL 2024 Final
- 4 (2) – IPL 2025 Match
Travis Head’s IPL Struggles Against KKR
Despite being one of the most feared batters in world cricket — thanks to his match-winning centuries against India in the WTC Final 2023 and ODI World Cup Final 2023 — Travis Head’s IPL record against KKR is dismal.
In his last three innings vs KKR, Head has scored:
- 0 off 2 balls (bowled by Mitchell Starc)
- 0 off 4 balls (bowled by Vaibhav Arora)
- 4 off 2 balls (again dismissed by Vaibhav Arora)
It seems KKR has found the perfect formula to neutralize the Aussie powerhouse.
Fans React to KKR’s Trolling Post
The bold move by KKR’s social media team triggered mixed reactions online. While many fans praised the team for their clever trolling and dominance over Head, others felt the post was “distasteful” and unsportsmanlike.
Some users commented:
- “Savage! Head just can’t handle KKR’s bowlers.”
- “Disrespectful. Troll the game, not the player.”
Vaibhav Arora – The Silent Destroyer of Travis Head
The unsung hero in this Head vs KKR saga is Vaibhav Arora, the Indian pacer who has now dismissed Travis Head twice in three matches. His ability to swing the ball early has proven to be a serious threat to top-order batters, including international stars.
