Travis Head’s Wife Speaks Out Over Online Abuse After IPL 2026 Kohli Incident

The IPL 2026 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru star Virat Kohli and Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Travis Head has sparked major controversy online. Following an on-field verbal exchange between the two players, reports suggested that Kohli was not interested in shaking hands with Head after the match. In the aftermath, Travis Head’s wife Jessica Head revealed that she and her family have been facing severe online abuse from Indian cricket fans on social media platforms.

Speaking to Australian media, Jessica said the situation reminded her of the online harassment they faced after Australia’s victories over India in major tournaments, including the 2023 ODI World Cup final, the World Test Championship final and the 2024 Boxing Day Test. She alleged that even their young daughter had previously received disturbing threats online. Jessica also urged fans to behave responsibly on social media, stressing that while emotions are part of sports, people must remember that athletes and their families are real individuals who deserve kindness and respect.
