Former English captain Michael Vaughan hit out at former Pakistani player Mohammad Hafeez for labelling Virat Kohli’s knock of 101* runs, a selfish one. Vaughan was all praises for King Kohli as he played a larger-than-life knock on a difficult surface in Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
India eventually beat South Africa by a humongous margin of 243 runs in Kolkata and sealed a place in the semi-finals of the tournament. Notably, Michael Vaughan labelled Hafeez’s statements as “utter nonsense”.
“Come on @MHafeez22 !!! India have hammered 8 teams playing great cricket .. @imVkohli now has 49 tons and his last was an anchor role innings on a tricky pitch .. His team won by over 200 !!!! This is utter nonsense.. #CWC2023 #India #Pakistan,” said Michael Vaughan on the micro-blogging platform, X.
