NEW DELHI: The memories of Travis Head's onslaught in last year's ODI World Cup final at the packed Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad remain vivid in the minds of Indian cricket fans. After Australia restricted the Rohit Sharma-led team to a modest 240, Head had different plans. He unleashed a ferocious attack, sending the Indian players on a leather hunt and securing Australia's record sixth ODI World Cup title.
India, whose last ICC triumph was the 2013 Champions Trophy under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, once again failed to clinch an ICC trophy on home soil.
