Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer has indirectly roasted erstwhile England captain Michael Vaughan over his series prediction between the two teams. The sharp retort came after the fourth Test between the two teams at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester ended in a draw on Sunday, July 27.

Ahead of the fifth and final day, Vaughan tried to pull Jaffer’s leg by questioning him whether the game would finish on the fourth day after the tourists were reduced to 0/2 in their second innings. The cricketer-turned-commentator wrote on X:

“Game to finish today? #ENGvsIND.”

In response, Jaffer shared a hilarious advertisement to take a swipe at the former English skipper. He replied via quote:

“Hi Michael, hope you're okay.”

Notably, Vaughan maintained his 3-1 prediction favoring England despite India winning the second Test by 336 runs and leveling the series at 1-1 in Birmingham. However, the tourists lost the third Test by 22 runs at Lord’s to fall 1-2 behind in the five-match series. With the score now 2-1, the Shubman Gill-led side has a chance to tie the series at 2-2.

For the unversed, the two former cricketers often pull each other’s legs on social media, particularly during the India-England series.
