Australian batter Travis Head, who has redefined what it means to be a willow-wielder in the modern age, opined that when his career winds down, he’d like to be remembered as a spirited team player.

“I’m not driven by stats and whatnot," the Aussie began.

“It’s a stat-driven game, and obviously, I’d love as many hundreds and the highest average I possibly could get. But I’d like to think the impact," he revealed.
“I think over the last three years, it’s—what have I brought to the table?"
“I’d like to think that I’ll be impactful in games and big games, and that’s not going to guarantee it in the future," the 31-year-old said.
“Bring an impact to a team and try and be a bit of a game-changer and try and just play the style that the team needed and required," the Aussie opener added.
The southpaw, who opens the innings for IPL side Sunrisers Hyderabad was at the forefront of the team’s run to the final in the 2024 season of the money-rich T20 franchise league, stated that he’d like to go down as someone who strived for the betterment of the sides he represents and to do it consistently.
“So yeah, hopefully look back and—teammates and people that watch the game and dive into the game—hopefully they think, he was a really good team man and someone that was able to go out and try to impact the game and play it in a style which was enjoyable, which is what the team needed and was trying to be able to be as consistent as it possibly could be," Head concluded.
