Former India opener Wasim Jaffer once again brought his signature humour to the forefront by hilariously trolling ex-England captain Michael Vaughan after India’s dominant 336-run victory in the second Test at Edgbaston on July 6, 2025. The win leveled the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series 1-1, and Jaffer made sure to deliver the perfect response to Vaughan’s earlier bold prediction.
Following England’s impressive five-wicket win in the series opener at Headingley, Leeds, Vaughan had confidently claimed that Ben Stokes' side could sweep the series 4-0. He even poked fun at India’s fielding and offered to become their fielding coach in a cheeky post. But India’s emphatic comeback at Edgbaston gave Jaffer the opportunity he was waiting for.

It was a sarcastic way of saying “ghanta,” which means “as if” or “not possible,” directly mocking Vaughan’s over-the-top prediction.
The video not only made fans laugh but also showcased Jaffer’s continued flair for sharp and timely online banter. His lighthearted jab, paired with Gambhir's presence, added even more flavour to the rivalry, both on and off the field.
The post quickly gained traction, with Indian cricket fans flooding the comment section with laughter and applause for Jaffer’s perfect comeback. The moment highlighted the strong response by Shubman Gill’s side, who silenced critics with a convincing win and reminded everyone that writing off Team India is never a safe bet.
'I Actually Wanted To See Him': Shubman Gill's Cheeky Dig At Journalist After India’s First Win In Edgbaston Goes Viral; Video
After leading India to a historic victory at Edgbaston, skipper Shubman Gill delivered a sharp and witty remark that added extra flavor to the moment. At the post-match press conference, following India’s thumping 336-run win over England, Gill addressed a pointed question he had been asked before the match about India’s poor Test record at Edgbaston.
With a smile, Gill said, “I can’t see my favourite journalist. Where is he? I actually wanted to see him,” referencing the reporter who had questioned India’s history at the venue during the pre-match media interaction.
Before this Test, India had never won a match at Edgbaston, losing seven and drawing one in eight previous attempts. The venue was widely regarded as a fortress for England, particularly against India. However, Gill’s team delivered a dominant all-round performance to break the jinx in style, claiming a massive 336-run win and leveling the series.
Gill’s playful comment highlighted both his confidence and sense of humour, turning a pre-match doubt into post-match celebration. The victory wasn’t just about ending a winless streak it was about rewriting history with authority.
