Michael Vaughan’s tweet ahead of the India-England decider came back to haunt him on Saturday after Virat Kohli and Co beat the tourists by 36 runs in the decider at Narendra Modi stadium. It was the batting that laid the platform for the memorable win.
This is India’s eighth consecutive T20I series win. Vaughan – who is known for making his predictions – reckoned that India and England would be playing the ICC T20 WC final and the English side would win it.
Here is how Vaughan got hilariously trolled after India won the five-match series 3-2.

India skipper Virat Kohli set the platform for the win with a brilliant 80* off 52 balls. His knock powered India to a mammoth 224 for two in 20 overs. India at a stage when os Buttler and Dawid Malan were going great guns found themselves in a spot of bother, but once the wicketkeeper-batsman perished – it was India all the way.
The hosts will now lock horns with England in a three-match ODI series starting March 23.
