Michael Vaughan takes hilarious dig at Wasim Jaffer after India’s 201 all out in IND vs SA 2025 2nd Test

Former England captain Michael Vaughan trolled ex-India opener Wasim Jaffer on Day 3 (Monday, November 24) of India's ongoing Guwahati Test against South Africa. The dig came after the Rishabh Pant-led side were bundled out for 201 in response to the visitors' first innings score of 489.

Vaughan inquired how Jaffer was doing amid India's batting collapse. He cheekily remarked that it wasn't easy to face left-arm seamers, referring to Marco Jansen's six-wicket haul.

The cricketer-turned-commentator wrote on X:

"Hi @WasimJaffer14.. Hows today going .. ? Left arm seamers are not easy to face .."

Hi @WasimJaffer14 .. Hows today going .. ? Left arm seamers are not easy to face .. 😜

Vaughan's tweet was a response to Jaffer's cheeky social media post after England's eight-wicket loss to Australia in the recently concluded Ashes 2025-26 opener in Perth. Notably, it was a left-arm pacer who shone with the ball in the clash.

Mitchell Starc bagged a 10-wicket haul across two innings in the Test and was adjudged the Player of the Match. Jaffer posted on X after England's defeat:

Travis Head's 123-run knock off 83 balls helped Australia chase the 205-run target quite comfortably.

South Africa take a massive 288-run lead by bowling out India for 201 in IND vs SA 2025 2nd Test

After electing to bat first, South Africa registered an impressive 489-run total in the first innings. Senuran Muthusamy scored 109 runs off 206 deliveries, while Marco Jansen contributed 93 runs from 91 balls.

The visitors found themselves in a commanding position by bowling out the home team for 201 and taking a huge 288-run lead. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Washington Sundar were the top performers with the bat for the hosts, scoring 58 (97 balls) and 48 (92 balls), respectively.

While Jansen claimed six wickets, off-spinner Simon Harmer picked up three scalps. The side did not enforce the follow-on and chose to bat again.

It is a must-win Test for India as they are trailing 0-1 in the two-match series. South Africa secured a 30-run victory in the first Test in Kolkata by defending a 124-run target.
