Till then Michael Vaughan was strongly criticizing the Indian pitches but reacted quite differently to Rohit Sharma’s recent remark about the Chennai pitch.

Many fans would have hoped former England captain to accuse Rohit Sharma of his recent remark about the Chennai pitch. But what happened was the opposite as Vaughan extending support to Rohit Sharma’s recent remark in a virtual press conference.” Totally agree”, Vaughan responded when the Board of Control of Cricket (BCCI) shared a video in which Rohit can be seen defending Chepauk pitch.

The Indian cricket fans after being aware of Vaughan’s recent remark started to quickly troll the former England captain. He decided to support Rohit Sharma’s recent remark about Chepauk.” Don’t know if you understand what Rohit was saying “, a fan wrote on the microblogging site. “Look who just agreed” another fan poked at the former England skipper.

In the early days, Vaughan said the pitch was a ‘shocker’ and the former England captain criticized calling Chepauk wicket a ‘beach’. Vaughan along with the former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh has slammed the groundsmen for turning Chepauk pitch into a ‘minefield’.

Before the start of the third test between England and India Rohit Sharma speaking in a virtual press conference said that every team has the right to home advantage. Rohit Sharma the Indian opener further said that “The pitch is the same for both the teams, so I don’t know why this topic is raised every time. I don’t think there needs to change. Every team takes advantage of their home conditions “.
