Visitors England had an ideal start to the ongoing India vs England Test series as they claimed a famous win in the opening fixture at Chennai. However, since then, they have visibly struggled in the Indian conditions. After having faced two embarrassing losses, the Joe Root-led side will look to stage a miraculous turnaround in the final contest in an attempt to salvage their pride. Former India opening batsman Wasim Jaffer took this opportunity to troll the touring party ahead of the India vs England 4th Test.

India vs England 4th Test: Wasim Jaffer hilariously trolls the England team  

The England team threatened to give a tough fight to the hosts after their comprehensive victory in the first game of the series. However, their woes against spin bowling were exposed soon after, and they have failed to counter India's R Ashwin and Axar Patel. Virat Kohli and co. were ruthless against them at the newly-built Narendra Modi Stadium and clinched a famous win within two days of the Test match.

Wasim Jaffer, who used his social media accounts to tickle the funny bones of his fans with his witty posts, once again came up with a tweet that left netizens in splits. He shared a picture where the visitors were having a look at the Ahmedabad strip. The cricketer-turned-coach targeted the England players and their inability to perform in the Indian conditions. He pointed out how the tour was more or less over for Stuart Broad. The England fast bowler who otherwise is a valuable addition to their line-up failed to make an impact on the Indian pitches.

Apart from Broad, Jaffer also pointed out that while the veteran at least got a chance to feature in the series, it is now unlikely that Mark Wood will take the field for England in the series. The 43-year-old took a dig at Jonny Bairstow by suggesting that he will be hoping to get a flat wicket to get some runs under his belt. Bairstow, who played exceedingly well in England's tour of Sri Lanka, surprisingly dismissed for a pair on his return.
