India vs England 4th Test: Fans mock Michael Vaughan’s Ahmedabad pitch report

On Wednesday, March 3, Michael Vaughan took to his Instagram account and shared a minute-long video for his fans and followers. The video in contention featured a mock pitch report for the upcoming India vs England 4th Test. The match is scheduled to be held in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, i.e. the same venue where the previous game concluded within two days.

Vaughan was at his satirical best as he can be seen assessing what appears to be his own backyard filled with sand and mud. In the caption, he described the video as the “much anticipated pitch report for the 4th Test”. In doing so, Vaughan evoked much laughter from fans, as some of them believed that the former England captain is making a “fool of himself” through his continuous trolling of the Ahmedabad pitch.
