Michael Vaughan gets trolled for his comparison of Australia vs India to Ashes
Taking
to X, Vaughan remarked that while BGT has been more competitive in recent times, Ashes remains far superior in stature. "No question the India v Aussie series of late down under have been more competitive, but don’t tell me they are bigger than Ashes. The build-up down in Oz for this Ashes is absolutely huge. You don’t get that for an IND v Oz series,” Vaughan wrote. This post of Vaughan soon went viral and the former England cricketer was trolled for the comparison.
