Usman Khawaja can be one of the best performer for the England, that was the prediction by many of the legends from both the sides Either England or Australia. All of them have predicted that he will be the one who can perform really well for the Australian Cricket team in the 1st Ashes test match of this series. And the same he did what everyone predicted that he smashed a blistering ton in the 1st test match of Ashes series. He smashed his 15th ton in Test Cricket. As he was the only lone warrior for the Australia in the 1st innings as Warner was down by the Stuart broad in the starting over of Day 2 when warner tried to smash the ball for the boundary but got an edge and caught by the jonny in the behind the Stumps.
Then World’s no. 1 ranked batter Marnus got an nick and caught by Jonny again behind the stumps. On the just next delivery when Australia got disbalanced due to the back-to-back wickets in the space of the 2 balls.
But Khawaja stood tall and made the partnership with the Smith as well then the Travis Head who was the man of the match of the WTC Final for Australia and also performed really well in this match as well as he played a brilliant knock of 68 runs with strike rate of almost 100 which is really amazing in the test cricket and is generally played by the players of England as they play a new brand of cricket that is “Baz Ball”.
And in Australia as well travis Head is the one who played this kind of the cricket as he smashed the ball for a couple of sixes as well. He did the same in the WTC final against India as well where he played a knock of 161 runs with the strike rate of over 80 maybe as he was judged as the player of the match of WTC final.
Khawaja made 141 runs in the 1st innings and made Australia reach near the lead of the England as they were left far behind in this match but Khawaja saved them and steady the ship of Australia which was just going to be drowned
