Ravi Shastri Slams Michael Vaughan For India-Centric T20 World Cup Remark
Shastri dismissed Vaughan's accusations, stressing the strength and accomplishments of the Indian team. He advised Vaughan to focus on England's performance instead of making unfounded claims about the tournament's scheduling.
"Michael can say what he wants. Nobody in India cares. Let him sort out the England team first. He should give advice on what happened to the England team in the semifinal. India are used to lifting Cups. I know England have won twice, but India have won four times. I don't think Michael's lifted a Cup ever. So think twice. He is a colleague of mine, but that's my answer to him," Ravi Shastri said while speaking to Times Now.
Additionally, Shastri dismissed the controversy over Suryakumar Yadav's catch in the final over of the T20 World Cup against South Africa. He responded to Vaughan's comments by saying, "Sour grapes. And go and check the record books after five years. The name India will be engraved on it." Shastri's firm rebuttal highlights his disdain for Vaughan's comments and his strong defense of the Indian team and the tournament organizers.
