"Can't say the same about your predictions" - Cheteshwar Pujara hilariously trolls Michael Vaughan on X after India's win in ENG vs IND 2025 2nd Test

Discarded team India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has taken a dig at former England captain Michael Vaughan, hilariously trolling him on X after India's win at Edgbaston in the second Test against England.

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.

The five-match series is currently level at 1-1. England won the first Test in Leeds, chasing down 371 on the final day with five wickets to spare. However, India bounced back with a stunning 336-run win in the second Test at Edgbaston.

The third Test of the five-match series will begin on Thursday, July 10, at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. Manchester will host the fourth Test beginning Wednesday, July 23, while the fifth and final Test will begin on Thursday, July 31, at the Kennington Oval.
