Amid the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, former England skipper Michael Vaughan celebrates his 49th birthday. Wishes poured in from all over the world for Vaughan, as the former English skipper has been one of the greatest of the game. However, former India batter Wasim Jaffer also wished Michael Vaughan a happy birthday, but in a different style.
The duo of Vaughan and Jaffer, known for their online banter, has been a centre of attraction for cricket fans. However, wishing him a happy birthday, Jaffer trolled Vaughan and called him a person who loves to eat his own words. Jaffer took to social media platform X and posted a picture of Cake, which had a screenshot of Vaughan’s tweet.
In the photo, Vaughan’s tweet read, England are the best white-ball team in the world. They have an incredible group of players and thoroughly deserve to now hold both white-ball WCs. In Ben Stokes, they have a player who just knows how to win the big moments. Great teams need great individuals. England has plenty.” Quoting this picture, Wasim Jaffer said, “Happy b’day to the man who loves to eat his own words.”
Can England end their struggling run against India?
In the ongoing tournament, the defending champions have been very poor with both bat and ball. They have lost four out of five games in the tournament and are on the verge of elimination. However, the Jos Buttler-led team has a golden chance to stay alive in the game by winning against India in Lucknow. As the hosts have failed to put up a big total while batting first, English batters will be looking to dominate the run chase.
However, a loss here will eliminate England from the ongoing tournament. The batting unit of the English team has been very mediocre, with not a single batter being consistent in the middle. The team will also expect all-rounder Ben Stokes to get some runs with the bat, which has been one of the biggest weaknesses of the squad in the ongoing tournament.
