Australia vs India quick hits: Travis Head hits back and Rohit Sharma bolsters India 's stocks on day four of Perth Test Australia vs India quick hits: Travis Head hits back and Rohit Sharma bolsters India 's stocks on day four of Perth Test India captain Rohit Sharma arrives to add weight to a dominant touring side, while Travis Head enjoys his time at the crease, even at the expense of Steve Smith.The size of the task facing Australia was not lost on anyone.
Usman Khawaja, a compulsive puller at the best of times, misjudged the bounce and got a top edge on Mohammed Siraj's short ball.There was little sympathy from Travis Head though, when Steve Smith was felled by a ball to the ribs from the deceptively quick Harshit Rana.Head, however, felt Smith could have handled it better.Head was not presuming that Smith was wearing a chest guard, more poking fun at Smith's virtually non-existent waistline.
The powerful opener landed in Australia on Sunday after missing selection in the opening Test as he stayed home with wife Ritika Sajdeh and their newly arrived baby.
