DTVHINDIBGT 2024-25: Michael Vaughan asked a sharp question, asked who will be India’s Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri in Australia this time?
The much awaited BGT series is starting from 22nd November Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England cricket team captain Michael Vaughan has recently given a big statement before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series. Vaughan says that only if Team India adopts an aggressive approach from the beginning and is successful in pushing Australia on the backfoot, then only it can save this series. Vaughan also said that when India won the Test series in Australia for the first time in the year 2018-19, there was the mentor of ‘charismatic coach’ Ravi Shastri and an excellent leader in the form of Virat Kohli. But this time who is going to be Shastri and Kohli of Team India on the tour? This has to be seen. Michael Vaughn gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Fox Cricket before the start of BGT, Vaughan said – In the last four or five years, without any doubt, these two teams have been the best two teams with their skill set and mentality. Are. The last two times they have been here, they have won. They had a charismatic coach in Ravi Shastri and a captain in Virat Kohli. Vaughan further said- I am a big believer that when you play against Australia, there is only one way to play against them and that is to be on the front foot, be aggressive and score some tries. Ravi could do this, Virat could do this. I want to know who is Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli in the Indian team this time? I don’t think there can be another one like it. Can Rohit come back and do this kind of captaincy? I think this is going to be a big challenge for India in the coming few weeks?

Let us tell you that when Hayden was out in a match during the Ashes series, Vaughan was praised for his captaincy, but Hayden was out for some other reason. Vaughan recently revealed this interesting incident in the Club Prairie Fire Podcast. In this podcast, Vaughan said about Hayden’s dismissal during that match – Hey Hados (Matthew Hayden), I should really apologize to you. The other day at Edgbaston, you came out to bat and I was given credit for the tactical genius of replacing Andrew Strauss and getting caught at short extra cover off Matthew Hoggard on the first ball of the morning . Vaughan further said- You don’t realize this, Strauss (Andrew Strauss) was talking nonsense. He came to the pitch late, and instead of running towards the slip, I just asked him to wait at extra cover, as he was out of the field to use the washroom at that time, and there was someone else in the slip in his place. .

I hope Virat and Rohit score maximum runs for India against Australia in BGT 2024: Michael Vaughan

(Photo Source: Twitter) Former England player Michael Vaughan has appealed to Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and experienced batsman Virat Kohli to perform well in the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia and make a valuable contribution to their team’s victory. Let us tell you that, if Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. Recently, Team India played a three-match Test series against New Zealand at home. New Zealand won this test series 3-0. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were flops in this series. Apart from Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan, no other player could leave his mark on Team India. However, everyone can be seen performing brilliantly in the upcoming series against Australia. The 5-match Test series against Australia is starting from November 22 in Perth. However, before this Test series, Michael Vaughan told Fox Cricket that, ‘If India has to win the Test series against Australia, then Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will have to score as many runs as possible and perform at their best. I hope to see explosive batting from both these players. However, this thing is not going to be so easy for them because the Australian bowling attack is very difficult and defeating them in their own home is not so easy for any team. If you want to achieve this feat then you will have to improve your technique and play against Australia with a positive mindset. Even though both the batsmen are out of form, they will have to leave their mark once again. Virat is fighting for his form at the moment: Michael Vaughan Michael Vaughan further said, ‘Last time when Team India won against Australia, Virat Kohli was not there to chase the target at Gabba. But I am still worried about them. The full toss that the Indian batsman bowled against Mitchell Santner was not Virat Kohli. At present, Virat Kohli is struggling for his form every single minute.

Michael Vaughan raised questions on Ollie Pope’s captaincy, gave 2 names for the next captain of England
Michael Vaughan believes England should groom Harry Brook as captain for the future. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan has once again expressed concern over the leadership ability of England national cricket team’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope. Vaughan believes that even though England has achieved recent success under the captaincy of Ollie Pope, he should not be seen as a captain. According to Vaughan, Pope should be kept in the role of vice-captain rather than captain, as he is a great partner for Ben Stokes. Ollie Pope was given the responsibility of vice-captain ahead of the home series against Ireland in 2023. He then took over the captaincy on the tour of India and West Indies. However, Vaughan believes that both Pope’s leadership ability and his batting are still under question mark. Vaughan wrote in his column for ‘The Telegraph’ “Ollie Pope is a good vice-captain. He fits the bill well with Ben Stokes, his contribution to the team cannot be overlooked. But he is not yet ready for the role of captaincy.” Not every vice-captain can be made captain: Michael Vaughan Expressing his concern, Vaughan said, “Not every vice-captain is ready to become a captain. I think this applies to Ollie Pope’s case. He needs to focus more on his batting. If I am proven wrong by making Pope the captain, I will be happy, but I think he is a bit insecure right now.” Joe Root and Harry Brook can be made captain: Vaughan Vaughan believes that England should prepare Harry Brook as captain for the future. Vaughan suggested that if Stokes is unavailable and Brook is not ready for captaincy, then England should hand over the leadership responsibility to Joe Root again. Root’s experience can provide stability to the team. Vaughan finally said, “Pope has a chance to learn from England’s best batsman Root. He should go to Root and learn the nuances of batting.”
Michael Vaughan teased Wasim Jaffer over India’s defeat against Sri Lanka, the batsman gave a befitting reply
Wasim Jaffer started a question-answer session with fans on his ex-profile, where Vaughan tried to troll Team India in an attempt to be smart. Michael Vaughan and Wasim Jaffer (Image Credit- Twitter) Wasim Jaffer Trolls Michael Vaughan: Former India batsman Wasim Jaffer has trolled former England captain Michael Vaughan during a joke on social media. Wasim Jaffer and Michael Vaughan are known for their fight on social media, where they often engage in verbal wars. In the past, Vaughan and Jaffer have trolled each other’s team (India and England) on several occasions. This time, it was Michael Vaughan who started it. Michael Vaughan tried to troll Team India India had a disappointing ODI series against Sri Lanka, losing the series 0-2. What was most shocking was that despite having the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, India succumbed to Sri Lanka’s spin bowling and conceded defeat in the 50-over format. Meanwhile, Wasim Jaffer started a question-answer session with fans on his ex-profile, where Vaughan tried to troll Team India in an attempt to be smart. But Vaughan did not know that he had put his hand in the mouth of a lion, and what happened, Jaffer silenced him by giving a befitting reply. Let’s see what happened between the two- Vaughan wrote to Jaffer, “Hi Wasim..what was the result of the recent ODI series in Sri Lanka? Actually, I was busy so I could not see the result..hope everything will be fine.” On hearing this, Wasim Jaffer answered the question in a very good way. Jaffer made a reference to England’s Ashes win on Australian soil, where they have not won a single match in the last decade. Jaffer replied, “I would say it in the context of the Ashes, Michael. India won the same number of Tests in that series as England have won in Australia in the last 12 years.” See the tweets of both I’ll put it in Ashes terms for you Michael. Ind won as many games in that series as the Tests Eng have won in Aus in last 12 years 😏 — Wasim Jaffer (@WasimJaffer14) August 11, 2024 Let’s see the reactions of fans on Wasim Jaffer’s reply- Roasting game of @WasimJaffer14 is God level, gold medal in roasting 👑👑 get your game up @MichaelVaughan its getting as bland as english fish n chips !! — Snehal (@SneDam) August 11, 2024 Le Wasim pic.twitter.com/plJ6JyUJna — Chinmay Tiwari (@Chinmay_TI) August 11, 2024 Owned that chor Mdcd angrez — Dhonism (@Dhonismforlife) August 11, 2024 To pay back in the same coin with interest. — SK Pandey (@pandeysush88) August 11, 2024 you hit the ball out of the park — 🇮🇳राकेश क्लिंग भीमने 🇮🇳 (@Rakeshkumarray8) August 11, 2024 I took it 🤣 — Waqar Ahmed Afridi (@RealWaqarAfridi) August 11, 2024 That was brutal!hope all is well @MichaelVaughan , — Subha (@SHIBDU1193) August 11, 2024 Completely Owned @MichaelVaughan who thinks that he’s the smartest around ? — Shailesh Rathore (@imsrathore_03) August 11, 2024 Michael is in coma right now.

England is selecting players who… Michael Vaughan points out a big mistake before Ashes 2025
The former England captain said that the selectors should have chosen Jack Leach instead of Shoaib Bashir. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan is surprised by the selection of England’s team for the Test series against West Indies. It is worth noting that England has started its home summer with a three-match series against West Indies. The series between the two teams has started on Wednesday, July 10 at Lord’s, London. Before the game, the Ben Stokes-led side had announced their playing XI, which includes debutant Jamie Smith and young spinner Shoaib Bashir. Commenting on his team’s playing XI, Vaughan said that the selectors are not paying attention to county cricket. Along with this, he also told that they are not selecting first choice players from the county. Michael Vaughan said on the Vaughan and Tuffers podcast- “They’re not looking at county cricket. They’re just looking at the players. Bashir is not the first-choice spinner at Somerset, Jack Leach is. Ben Foakes is the first-choice wicketkeeper at Surrey, not Jamie Smith. England are picking players who are not first-choice at their county. I don’t think they’re looking at county cricket as a tool to say ‘you’re an international cricketer.’” Speaking further, the former England captain said that the selectors should have picked Jack Leach over Shoaib Bashir and called him England’s number one spinner. Vaughan also said that Leach is the best choice to trouble Australia in Ashes 2025. “The selection of Bashir over Jack Leach is interesting. I would have picked Jack Leach. Bashir is a fantastic talent and no doubt he would be the second spinner in a two-man spin attack. But Jack Leach has earned the right to be England’s No. 1. Left-arm spin is a pretty good option in Australia.”
‘Bowling at the toss is a…’ Michael Vaughan after T20 World Cup semi-final loss to India
India has won against England by 68 runs. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) The second semi-final match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 was played yesterday on 27 June between India and England (IND vs ENG) at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. Let us tell you that in this match, Team India defeated England by 68 runs in a one-sided match. Batting first, the Indian team gave England a target of 172 runs. When the English team came out to chase this target given by India, they were all out for just 103 runs in 16.4 overs in front of the brilliant bowling of the Indian team. So now after England’s crushing defeat in the semi-final match, a big statement has come from the team’s former captain Michael Vaughan. He has scolded the English team and said that bowling at the time of the toss was a strange decision. Michael Vaughan lashed out at England team Let us tell you that on England’s crushing defeat against India, Michael Vaughan, in one of his columns written in The Telegraph, said – I believe that in these circumstances, England’s issues are deeper than just the coach and captain. They made some mistakes in the match, the decision to bowl after winning the toss was a strange decision. I am sure that bad weather played an important role in the match. Vaughan further said- But on a dry pitch you might have preferred to bat first against India’s spin bowlers. Perhaps England got stuck in their own plan, as they had defeated India while chasing the target on the Adelaide Oval ground two years ago. Also, let us tell you that after defeating England, now Team India is going to face South Africa in the T20 World Cup final match on June 29. This match between the two teams will be played at Kingston Oval ground in Barbados.
Michael Vaughan strongly criticized RCB, said – no one wins trophies by including big players
The fact is that RCB has not won a single trophy till now – Michael Vaughan Michael Vaughan and RCB. (Image Source: Getty Images/X) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the most popular teams and fans have been loyal to them since 2008. There have always been big stars in his team. But despite this, RCB has not won a single trophy yet. Under the leadership of Anil Kumble (2009), Daniel Vettori (2011), and Virat Kohli (2016), the team reached the finals thrice, but fell short of the title. Even in IPL 2024, RCB has been disappointed so far. The team has played 6 matches and has won only one match, while it has faced defeat in five matches. Meanwhile, before the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, former English cricketer Michael Vaughan has taken on RCB and criticized the team fiercely. He has not won a single title – Michael Vaughan He said in The Ranveer Show on YouTube with Ranveer Allahabadia that the fact is that RCB has not won a single trophy so far. He said that cricket is a team game. The game is never won by individual performance. “I like the fact that RCB has never won, it proves that team sport is not just about individuals,” Vaughan said on The Ranveer Show. You can buy all the big names and include them in a team, but that does not mean you are going to win and this has been proved in RCB. Michael Vaughan further said, I did not see him doing anything different. I just see them thinking it’s probably wrong but again that’s the perception. They just think because they have big players in this team. Management thinks we’re going to win. This proves to me that even if you have great players, unless you get team ethics, culture and you fully recognize everyone’s role, you will not be able to win titles.
Sunil Gavaskar lashed out at Michael Vaughan for his comment ‘Joe Root will surpass Sachin’, know what he said?
Root recently became the cricketer with the most number of centuries (34) in Tests for England. Sunil Gavaskar (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, former England cricket team captain Michael Vaughan said in the Club Priory Fire podcast that the time is not far when Joe Root will surpass Sachin Tendulkar to become the highest run-scorer in Test cricket. It is worth noting that Joe Root recently performed brilliantly in the three-match Test series against Sri Lanka. And now he has become the first player from England to score the most centuries (34) in Test cricket. Now former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar’s reaction has come to light on this comment of Michael Vaughan. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big response Let us tell you that recently Gavaskar said in one of his columns written in Sports Star – Recently, I heard someone saying that it would be good for Test cricket if Joe Root surpasses Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most runs and centuries in Test match cricket. Gavaskar further said- Please tell us what is wrong with Test cricket at present, when Tendulkar has this record and how will Test cricket be better if an English player holds this record. How will it be better? Someone please tell me. This is a funny notion, because India plays more than half a dozen Test matches every season, be it at home or away. Just because the IPL is a massive success doesn’t mean the BCCI has no interest in promoting Test cricket, but the narrative is one that is being propagated by the West media.
