Former England skipper and broadcaster Michael Vaughan once again tried to be cheeky with Indian Cricket Team fans as he attempted to make fun of the Men In Blue losing their three match ODI series against Sri Lanka. But as it turned out the Englishman got trolled again by former Indian Cricketer. 

In Gautam Gambhir's first assignment as head coach in India's tour of Sri Lanka, India managed to win the three match T20I series 3-0. However, India were left stunned in the three match ODI series as they lost to Sri Lanka 2-0 in what was their first bilateral series defeat to the neighbouring nation since 1997.

Michael Vaughan tried to make fun of this but instead it blew up in his face as former Indian batsman Wasim Jaffer ripped apart the Englishman and in turn exposed England's abysmal showing in tests in Australia. 

Wasim Jaffer trolls Michael Vaughan again

Wasim Jaffer took to his X in another series of his #AskWasim post where he answers fan questions on Social Media. 

Michael Vaughan leapt onto the opportunity to try and rub salt in India's wounds as he tweeted saying, “Hi Wasim .. What was the recent ODI series result in Sri Lanka ? I have been away and missed it .. Hope all is well”.

The strategy as it turned out blew up in Vaughan's face as Wasim Jaffer decided to troll England for not winning a test match in Australia in 12 years as he replied, “I'll put it in Ashes terms for you Michael. Ind won as many games in that series as the Tests Eng have won in Aus in last 12 years”. 

It certainly did not go as planned for Michael Vaughan as fans had a field day in trolling him.

England's abysmal record in tests in Australia

England have had a rough time in test matches in Ashes as they fail to retain the urn consistently. 

England in the last 12 years have played three Ashes series in Australia and have lost all three of them. Not only have they lost all the series, they haven't won a single test match in Australia during the timespan. 

In the 15 test matches, England have played against Australia in Australia in the last 12 years, they have lost 13 and drawn only 2 matches.
