The cricketing world is abuzz after England secured a dramatic 5-wicket win over India in the first Test at Leeds, successfully chasing down a formidable target of 371. While the young Indian side showed moments of brilliance, the loss didn’t go unnoticed — especially by former England skipper Michael Vaughan, who once again stirred the pot with his trademark online banter.
Known for his cheeky exchanges with former India opener Wasim Jaffer, Vaughan didn’t waste time taking a jab at India after the match. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “Evening @WasimJaffer14 .. Hope you are ok .. #1-0.” Jaffer, never one to shy away, fired back: “Happy that a young Indian team got you worried like this. Enjoy the win Michael, we’ll be back. #ENGvIND.”
But Vaughan wasn’t done. Doubling down on his prediction, he added, “It could be 4-0 now, Wasim.” A bold claim — and one that has sparked debates among fans and experts alike.
As cricket lovers continue to dissect the thrilling Test, one name that remains in the spotlight is Jofra Archer. There has been speculation around his possible inclusion in the second Test squad, but Vaughan isn’t convinced. He voiced his opinion, saying Archer, who has been out of the red-ball scene for nearly four years, needs more game time with Sussex before donning the England whites again.
“He was out of action for four years and there is no need to rush him. Let him play a few games for Sussex and then add him to the squad for the Lord’s Test. It is important to continue with the attack that won you the series opener,” Vaughan stated.
While Archer’s return could significantly strengthen England’s pace battery — especially with injuries plaguing their lineup — the focus remains on stability and caution. With the second Test set to begin at Edgbaston on July 2, fans can expect high stakes and fiery competition.
