Jessica, the wife of Australian cricketer Travis Head, has spoken out about the abusive comments she has received on social media following her husband’s on-field altercation with Indian cricketer Virat Kohli during an IPL match. The incident occurred when Head’s team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, defeated Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 55 runs in a game in Hyderabad last week.
During the match, Kohli and Head exchanged heated words, and Kohli refused to shake hands with the Australian player after the game. Since then, Jessica has been inundated with abusive comments on her social media accounts.
She compared the situation to the abuse she received after the 2023 World Cup final, where Australia defeated India and Head was named player of the match for his outstanding performance. Jessica expressed her distress, saying, “It feels like a repeat of the abuse that happened after the World Cup. I woke up to my socials blasting… we are fine but they are attacking my friends and family.”
The incident has garnered attention and criticism online, with many fans expressing their disapproval of the behavior displayed by both players. The article was published on May 25, 2026, highlighting the ongoing impact of the incident on both the players and their families.
