Australian batter Travis Head addresses reports of a feud with Virat Kohli following an IPL 2026 handshake controversy. Head says there is “nothing to patch over,” dismissing speculation that he and Kohli have an unresolved issue. The controversy also triggers a wave of online abuse targeting Head’s wife, Jessica Davies, and the couple says it impacts their family. In his comments, Head expresses support for Davies and praises her for dealing with the situation “with grace.” Both outlets describe Head’s view that intense public scrutiny is part of professional sport, and he frames the backlash as part of the broader environment surrounding high-profile events and interactions between players. Overall, Head’s statements focus on quashing the feud narrative, acknowledging the personal toll of online harassment, and emphasizing that public attention is inherent to professional cricket.
