ICC T20 World Cup 2022: If I Was Running Indian Cricket, I Would Swallow My Pride... - Michael Vaughan

England Cricket Team won a thrilling T20 World Cup final against Mighty Pakistan. England was quite disciplined in their bowling approach as they hardly gave any freebies to Men in Green. England would sense that they didn’t have a comprehensive win as compared to India where they were quite bossing the game.

England also ended their 12-year wait as now they have joined West Indies in the elite list of winning the T20 World Cup two times. England had a great depth of bowling as well as batting due to which they were not reliant on a single individual.

Michael Vaughan On India

Michael Vaughan wrote in his column Telegraph and made some strong remarks on the Indian Cricket Team.

“This group of England white ball players is extraordinary and for once English cricket has a trendsetting team the rest of the world should emulate. How are England going about their business? What do they do? If I was running Indian cricket, I would swallow my pride and look at England for inspiration,” said Michael Vaughan.

“Since winning 50 over World Cup what have they done? Nothing. India are playing a white-ball game that is dated and have done for years, India are the most under-performing white-ball team in history. Every player in the world who goes to the Indian Premier League says how it improves their game but what have India ever delivered?” he added.

Questionable Intent from Batters

The openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma were not able to give India a rollicking start throughout the tournament. Due to which the men in Blue were always behind in the game. India needs to make sure that they score at least 50 odd runs in the power-play overs which will give the team a solid chance in the game.

The team was way too much dependent on Suryakumar Yadav to provide the finishing touch. Perhaps, India now has to invest in fast-bowling all-rounders. It would be interesting to see whether there is a change in leadership because Rohit Sharma is at the back end of his career.
