After India's historic victory, Vaughan tweeted that while the visitors put up an outstanding performance, his prediction of England winning the series is 3-1 is still alive. Replying to his post, Pujara stated that while he admired Vaughan's insights, he could not say the same about his predictions.

"Must confess I admire your insights in the studio, but can't say the same for your predictions 🤣," Pujara wrote.
