TV
In the world of cricket banter, few rivalries are as entertaining as the ongoing online jabs between former India opener Wasim Jaffer and ex-England captain Michael Vaughan. The recently concluded India-England Test series ended in a 2-2 draw, but the Jaffer-Vaughan Twitter banter is far from over, and now, it has taken a hilarious turn involving none other than Donald Trump.
The Banter That Keeps on Giving
Following India’s dramatic six-run win in the fifth Test, Jaffer took to X (formerly Twitter) with a cheeky tweet:
“Lying on a Baz having a ball, how about you @MichaelVaughan😆 #ENGvIND.”
He followed it up with another gem:
“Series drawn but India take the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on boundary count @MichaelVaughan😜 #ENGvIND.”
Vaughan, no stranger to the banter game, replied with:
“This is very good from your content team, Wasim.”
The light-hearted back-and-forth soon sparked memes and jokes across social media, culminating in Jaffer’s satirical tweet that had everyone in splits:
“Reports of Donald Trump negotiating a ceasefire between me and @MichaelVaughan are BASELESS and UNTRUE. The social media war will continue.”
A Legacy Beyond Stats
Jaffer, who scored 1,944 Test runs for India with five centuries, may have hung up his boots, but his online game is thriving. His ability to blend wit with cricketing insight has made him a fan-favorite in the digital age.
The series may be drawn, but in the realm of Twitter banter, Jaffer’s winning, one meme at a time. And no, Trump isn’t getting involved… at least, not yet.
