The reason behind Travis Head's celebration
After dismissing Rishabh Pant, Travis Head made a gesture that was difficult to understand. He put one of his fingers in a circular gesture with the other hand. This celebration surprised the audience and commentators. Channel 7's James Brezshaw explained it, "After taking a spell of 4-10 in 17 balls against Sri Lanka in 2022, Head said that he had to put his finger on ice. This was a reference to that. He said, 'I did it again and now I am putting it back on ice.'"
