Former England captain Michael Vaughan faced the heat on Twitter for his ‘sarcastic’ remarks on Indian team after their win over England in the first T20I at Manchester on July 3.
Virat Kohli & Co outclassed hosts in every department after they registered an 8-wicket win to lead the three-match series 1-0.
England batsmen started off well after being asked to bat first. But, they failed to read Kuldeep Yadav’s unconventional wrist-spin and they could only manage 159 for 8 in their quota of 20 overs.
Kuldeep picked up 5/24 to became the first left-arm wrist-spinner to take a five-fer in T20I.
In reply, KL Rahul stuck a magnificent century, his second in T20I, to guide team India to an easy win over Englishmen.
After India’s brilliant bowling display, Vaughan took to Twitter to praise ‘Men in Blue’ by ‘sarcastically’ comparing them with the Australians. He wrote:
Kuldeep Yadav is causing absolutely chaos ……. The Indians are a little bit better than the Aussies ……. #ENGvIND

Vaughan’s this ‘sarcastic’ tweet did not go down well with Indian cricket fans and they reminded him of England’s recent defeat to Scotland in a high-scoring ODI.
Dear @MichaelVaughan
We Indians Are *Far Better Than The Aussies. Your England Is Far Worse Than Scotland. Also Do Remember We Don’t Steal Kohinoor From Other Country And Use It As A Status Symbol

After T20s
The Indians are way better than the Aussies
After ODIs
The Indians are the best, they are beating ENG better than Aussies ever did
After Tests
The England batting has been appalling. Maybe it’s a lack of respect about what the game is
Some buffoons never change_

Meanwhile, Team India would be looking to keep the winning momentum going when they take on England in the second T20I match at Cardiff later in the day today.
