Michael Vaughan faces harsh criticism after making disparaging comments about Yashasvi Jaiswal's batting performance despite praise from an English cricket star.

In the third Test of the five-match series, England's cricket team, led by Ben Stokes, faced a humbling defeat of 434 runs against Rohit Sharma's Indian side, prompting a reality check for the visitors. Despite the setback, certain members of the English camp, notably James Anderson and Ben Duckett, made audacious remarks that drew criticism from cricketing legends, including former England captain Michael Vaughan. Vaughan, expressing his discontent in a column for The Telegraph, condemned Anderson and Duckett for their comments, particularly Duckett's assertion that England deserved credit for Yashasvi Jaiswal's aggressive batting.

Vaughan highlighted the discrepancy between the players' optimistic statements and the team's actual performance, pointing out Anderson's prediction of chasing 600 runs in Vizag and Duckett's statement about embracing higher targets, which fell significantly short in reality. He criticized their disregard for the significance of playing for a draw in Test cricket, emphasizing its historical importance in shaping series victories.

Concerned about the team's mindset, Vaughan suggested that Stokes' side appeared detached from reality, residing in a bubble where only their dressing room and enjoyment seemed to matter. He urged them to recognize that Test cricket transcends mere entertainment and requires a deeper understanding and respect for the game's nuances.

Vaughan acknowledged England's ambition to inject excitement into Test cricket but cautioned that performance ultimately determines success. He pointed out recent failures in series against New Zealand and the Ashes, warning that unless improvements are made, they risk defeat in India. Vaughan emphasized the importance of winning series as a measure of a team's success and urged England to recalibrate their approach accordingly.
