Michael Vaughan scolds England after ‘Baseball’ blows up in India 4-1
India has defeated England 4-1 in the home five-match Test series. Michael Vaughan and Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, a five-match Test series was played between India and England (IND vs ENG). India had defeated England 4-1 in their hosting match. So, this was a big defeat for the England team which plays an aggressive brand of baseball cricket in Test cricket. After this defeat of England, there was a lot of criticism of the English team in the cricket world. So, after this crushing defeat against India, England captain Ben Stokes had said that they had to face defeat from a better team. So now former cricketer Michael Vaughan has given a big statement on this defeat of England. Vaughan has strongly criticized Stokes and Company. Michael Vaughan gave great class to the England cricket team Let us tell you that after the end of the five-match Test series between India and England, Michael Vaughan, quoting one of his columns in The Telegraph, said – The truth is that this (baseball) may not always be fun. Positivity is a good thing, it is inspiring, but honesty is also important. The message of the team is that they should never doubt anything. How could they have done things differently during this time? Everyone is fantastic, everyone, players, coaches and support staff. But this cannot create an atmosphere of cruelty during the match. But you need to play good cricket after a break. So that the players are ready when needed. This will also help the players to get their form. I worry that this is a backroom team made up of cheerleaders. But sometimes with challenging players, tough questions need to be asked.

If Mathisha Pathirana is out of IPL, CSK’s problems will increase – big prediction of former KKR batsman
Matheesha Pathirana. (Photo Source: Twitter/IPL) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) may face problems if Mathisha Pathirana is not available for the initial matches of IPL 2024. Pathirana took 19 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 8.00 in IPL 2023 and was a specialist death bowler for the five-time champions. The Sri Lankan fast bowler recently suffered a hamstring injury and was ruled out of the last match of the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that Pathirana’s exclusion could create some problems for CSK. If Mathisha Pathirana is out then CSK’s problems will increase. He said, “Pathirana is injured. There is no clarity on his availability but will his injury cause any problems to Chennai Super Kings? They may have a bit of a problem because Pathirana is their leading bowler in the death overs.” During this, Chopra also admitted that the defending champions have other options for death bowling. But the former India opener believes that the unorthodox fast bowler may be missed. Chopra said, “However, now they have Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar is already there. He got a lot of bowling done by Mahesh Teekshana in the death overs, but he may feel the absence of Mathisha Pathirana a bit.” CSK have Mustafizur Rahman as another overseas seam-bowling option. If Pathirana is not available then the left-arm pacer from Bangladesh will probably be included in the playing XI as he can also bowl well in the death overs.
