The cricketer turned commentator Michael Vaughan has been proactive in his comments for on-field matches or off-field controversies. He was quite vocal in the recently concluded series of India and England. In the first India-England Test at Chennai, he called the pitch the “road” for being a belter of the pitch, and that supported batsmen. Then, he criticized the Ahmedabad pitch for completing the test match in 2 days. This time around he has made a remark for the IPL 2021 pitches.

Vaughan takes a dig at Mumbai pitch
The former England cricketer Michael Vaughan tweeted amidst the Match 7 of the IPL 2021 between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. The Delhi Capitals batsmen could not quite score runs easily due to the terrific variation of RR’s pacers. The Wankhede pitch has generally been a belter of a pitch and with a fast outfield and the small ground has seen very high scores posted on the board. But Match 7 saw a below-par total posted on the scoreboard and Rajasthan Royals batsmen also struggled in the powerplay overs. Michael Vaughan was quick to take a dig at the pitch on Twitter.
