'Whole event is geared towards India. So unfair to others': Michael Vaughan plays the victim card

The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has got its first finalist in the form of South Africa. The proteas displayed immense domination over Afghanistan, winning the game by 9 wickets at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy. They will now await the winner of the Semi-Final 2, to be played between India and England on Thursday, June 27, in Guyana. Ahead of the much-anticipated IND vs ENG encounter, former England captain Michael Vaughan has put forward a bold opinion which has irked many fans on social media.Also Read | 'Knocking Australia out': Rohit's biggest takeaway from previous gameMichael Vaughan spews a controversial take ahead of IND vs ENG T20 World Cup 2024 Semi-FinalKnown for laying out no-nonsense comments on subjects related to cricket, Michael Vaughan has once again raised eyebrows with a bold social media post. Witnessing the one-sided win of South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024, Vaughan seemingly hinted that the AFG vs SA semi-final should have been held in Guyana rather than the India vs England semi, which is booked to feature there. He further quoted that the tournament is set up for India which is unfair for other teams.Surely this Semi should have been the Guyana one .. but because the whole event is geared towards India it’s so unfair on others .. #T20IWorldCup— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) June 27, 2024 Also Read | 'Dimaag kholo apna': Rohit on ball-tampering accusation from PakistanVaughan receives flak from netizensVaughan's statement on X drew intense criticism from Indian cricket fans.

You are in Mumbai 🙂— Sagar (@sagarcasm) June 27, 2024 If that’s the case India should have won every single ICC tournament especially since 2011, is it not?— Chittukuruvi (@chittukuruvi4) June 27, 2024 Your team literally won WC by unfair decision and you are calling India unfair unreal clownary 🤡🤡 pic.twitter.com/GQ7VFAiIbQ— Aryan 🦥 (@iAryan_Sharma) June 27, 2024 It should be noted that India and England will take on each other in the Semi-Final 2 of the T20 World Cup 2024. The match-up will take place at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. There is a huge rain threat on the match. Moreover, there is no provision for a reserve day attached to the contest. Thus, courtesy of India finishing top in the Group 1 standings in the Super 8 stage, they will advance to the final if the rain completely washes out the match.
