Australian southpaw Travis Head became the first player to score a century in a World Test Championship final.
Travis Head scored his sixth Test century against India during Day 1 of the 2023 World Test Championship (WTC) Final at the Oval in London.
The previous final between New Zealand and India did not see any players crossing the three figure mark.
Head has been one of Australia's most consistent batters in the ongoing cycle of the World Test Championship cycle. Playing an aggressor's role in the middle-order order for Australia to perfection, Head hit 2 hundreds in 2022 and 3 fifties as he scored 655 runs last year in 10 Tests.
Notably, only two batters had gone past the fifty-run mark in the final of the inaugural edition of the WTC in 2021 where India lost to New Zealand.
Devon Conway hit a fifty in the first innings while Kane Williamson hit a fifty in the second innings.
In the WTC final so far, Ajinkya Rahane has scored 49 runs for India in the first innings.
