IPL 2026 | 'Woke up to my socials blasting': Travis Head's wife alleges online abuse after batter's tiff with Virat Kohli

Australian cricketer Travis Head's wife, Jessica has alleged that her social media has been flooded by abusive comments after her husband's tiff with Virat Kohli, during IPL match.

Head's Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Kohli's Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 55 runs in the game played in Hyderabad on Friday last week.

Kohli and Head exchanged words during a confrontation before the former declined the traditional post-match handshake with the Australian.

She said that her friends and family is also being targeted online.

"It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup," Jessica told 'The Adelaide Advertiser', referring to the 2023 World Cup final in which Australia defeated India with Head playing a stellar knock of 137 that earned him the player of the match award in the six-wicket win.

"I woke up to my socials blasting... we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family," she said.
