Michael Vaughan Mocks India’s Defeat: India’s first Test against England at Headingley ended in disappointment, with the hosts winning by five wickets while chasing 371 runs. After the match, former England captain Michael Vaughan and ex-India opener Wasim Jaffer, known for their fun exchanges on social media, shared another light-hearted moment.

Michael Vaughan poked fun at Jaffer after England took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, tweeting: “Evening @WasimJaffer14.. Hope you are ok .. #1-0.”
Wasim Jaffer responded by praising India’s young team, led by Shubman Gill, and also congratulated England on their victory.
However, Wasim Jaffer said that the Indian team would bounce back. “Happy that a young Indian team got you worried like this. Enjoy the win, Michael, we’ll be back. #ENGvIND,” he wrote.
In reply, former England captain Vaughan said, “Could be 4-0 now Wasim.”

Michael Vaughan also used X to mock India’s poor fielding during the Test, joking that he could become their fielding coach. He pointed out the several dropped catches that helped Ben Duckett go on to score a match-winning 149.
“Just to let you know, I have offered myself to India as a fielding coach. My academy does a roaring trade,” he tweeted.
Duckett’s brilliant knock earned him the Player of the Match award and helped England take an important lead in the five-match series. India will be disappointed with the loss, especially in a game they had under control. Centuries from four Indian batters put them in strong positions in both innings, but sudden batting collapses of 7/41 and 6/31, along with poor fielding and an ineffective bowling performance, led to their defeat.
