Fans slam Michael Vaughan for taking cheeky jibe at Indian batsmen's downfall

Looking at the ball turning like nobody's business and left-hander in the Indian batting line-up, England skipper Joe Root brought himself into the attack. What followed was a stunning display of spin bowling as he got rid of Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel and R Ashwin, thus demolishing the Indian batting line-up. He had to wait for his fifth wicket, but got it by dismissing Jasprit Bumrah. Notably, this is Joe Root's first five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan was certainly having a gala time as he saw Indian batsmen being bamboozled by England spinners. The England veteran took to Twitter and quipped that the hosts can't play against off-spinners from Yorkshire.
