IPL 2024 | Twitter erupts as India's World Cup trauma gets neutralized by Noor Ahmad stunning Travis Head
Scars can speak a thousand words and so it did when Travis Head, the Player of the Match from World Cup 2023, made his reappearance in Ahmedabad as Gujarat Titans faced Sunrisers Hyderabad in Ahmedabad. However, his good outing got neutralized by Noor Ahmad’s seed, to the Indian fan’s delight.
Arriving fresh off a match-winning half-century against the Mumbai Indians, Travis Head offered a brisk start to the Sunrisers Hyderabad after skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first. With SRH scoring 56 runs in powerplay, Head tried to continue the momentum but failed to replicate his World Cup heroics as Noor Ahmad avenged India’s loss.
On the fourth delivery of the seventh over, the Afghan left-arm wrist spinner sprayed a googly slower through the air near the off-stump line. Head got a bit of room and therefore went for the slog sweep but failed to make contact with the willow and saw the ball beat his inside edge and rock onto the stumps. It was the wrong’un from Noor who deceived the southpaw in the air by slowing down the pace of the ball and extracting more revs and turns. Seeing Australia’s World Cup hero get dismissed cheaply in the same ground where the Final was staged, the Twitterverse broke into a frenzy.
What a delivery!

Great achievement
A 19 year old Noor Ahmad hailing from Afghanistan has taken the wicket of Travis Head in NMS while the strongest team in the world, having the best bowler in the world, the greatest ODI WC bowler OAT and the greatest captain of all time weren't able to do it. #IPL pic.twitter.com/Najmlt7WhJ
