After India’s defeat in Leeds against England in the 1st test, the destruction that India faces is alot to catch up. Not only was the defeat painful, but the realisation that India also had five separate centuries and still lost the series with a disadvantage is a mega-cumulative defeat to the Shubman Gill led team. Similar to numerous other former England cricketers, the victory also excited the ex-captain Michael Vaughan.

Michael Vaughan’s Tweet

Vaughan engaged in some light-hearted banter with former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer.

“Evening @WasimJaffer14 .. Hope you are ok .. #1-0.” he wrote on X.  In reply to that post, Jaffer wrote: “Happy that a young Indian team got you worried like this. Enjoy the win Michael, we’ll be back. #ENGvIND”

Vaughan then delivered the decisive blow: “Could be 4-0 now Wasim”
