England former skipper Michael Vaughan is certainly known for his witty tweets which are full of sarcasm, and has now reckoned on team India’s fortunate luck in the match against South Africa which is being held today. The highly anticipated clash is being played at the iconic Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata where a massive number of fans have turned up to witness team India play, and essentially it is a big day for all the Indian fans out there as it’s Virat Kohli’s 35th birthday today.
Having won the toss, team India chose to bat first hoping to put pressure on the Proteas slamming an enormous target. Team India was officially off to a rapid start with Rohit Sharma smashing fours and sixes piling up 40 runs for team India followed by Shubman Gill whose wicket came as surprising for the Indian fans. With India having reached 145-run mark in 25 overs, people have been predicting a great score from the team within with former England skipper Michael Vaughan also predicting the total score by team India.
Michael Vaughan’s tweet
After India was off to a flying start during the first innings, Michael Vaughan took to his Twitter handle to assert the possibility of the Men in Blue putting up a remarkable performance against their fellow 2023 World Cup favourites. In the tweet, he remarked “You get an early feeling #India might be putting down a marker against South Africa today… #CWC2023.”
With him upfrontly guessing today’s match prediction, several fans on Twitter asked him to delete the tweet so that it doesn’t get jinxed, turning into a bad lack for the Men in Blue. In the comments section, fans replied with “India have started well. Keeping fingers crossed for how the match goes for the next 8 hours”, while another tweet read “Don’t jinxxxx vaughan.”
The two World Cup favourites
The current campaign of the two teams, India and South Africa are going very strong with both the teams registering one-sided and brilliant victories along with putting up magnificent records. While team India is leading at No.1 position on ICC Rankings Points Table, South Africa is only one rank below India followed by Australia and then New Zealand.
