"Most Ridiculous": England Great Blasts Timing Of India vs Australia T20I Series

There has been heavy criticism from fans and experts alike when it comes to the timing of the ongoing T20I series between India and Australia. The series started just four days after the Cricket World Cup 2023 final between the two sides and both countries fielded comparatively younger squads for the five matches. England cricket team legend Michael Vaughan took to social media to react to a recent interview of Australia cricketer Travis Head and criticised the timing of the series. "The most ridiculous series … Non of them should have been playing …," he posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Legendary England cricketer Michael Vaughan was all praise for the Australian cricket team after they defeated India to claim a record-extending sixth Cricket World Cup title. Australia rode brilliant performances from Travis Head and the bowlers to beat India by six wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Vaughan said that Head's catch to dismiss Rohit Sharma was a huge moment in the game and pointed out that the left-hander has become a dangerous batter on the world stage. The former England skipper also backed Head to bag a big contract in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Well before the names of the two teams in the Cricket World Cup 2023 were final, the 'pitch talk' had taken over the chatter around the tournament. From the semi-final onwards, there were plenty of discussions around the nature of the pitch that will be seen in the knockout matches of the World Cup. Seeing India pay the price of a slow and sluggish wicket at Ahmedabad in the final against Australia, the great Ricky Ponting called out the hosts' 'tactical blunder' when it comes to preparation of the pitch for the final.

Australia's Victory In Ahmedabad Caps The Best World Cup Win, Says Michael Vaughan

Former England captain Michael Vaughan rated Australia's World Cup triumph as the best in the tournament's history after they upstaged a rampaging India in front of a vociferous crowd of over one lakh, completing a remarkable comeback following a horror start to their campaign. Entering the final after 10 wins on the trot, India were the overwhelming favourites in the summit showdown but Australia played a near-perfect game to emerge triumphant for a record-extending sixth title. "Australia's victory in Ahmedabad caps the best World Cup win I can remember in my time playing and covering cricket," Vaughan began his column in the 'Daily Telegraph'. "To beat this India team, in front of more than 100,000 Indian supporters, on a pitch meant to suit the hosts, is an extraordinary sporting achievement, especially after starting the tournament with two losses," he added. Australia bowled out India for a below par 240 after skipper Pat Cummins opted to field first at the 1,30,000 capacity Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.
