After England won the first test, Michael Vaughan claimed that he “didn’t know of any captain.” Virat Kohli supporters responded.

Cricket fans now have a fresh perspective on the game thanks to the way in which England defeated Pakistan in the first Test. As England amassed many runs and also made a hazardous declaration in the hopes of dismissing Babar Azam and company on the last day, “Bazzball” was in full swing. However, England benefited from the decision as they won the first game of the series by 74 runs. However, a tweet from former England captain Michael Vaughan has enraged Virat Kohli’s supporters following the tourists’ victory.

In his tweet, Vaughan praised Stokes highly for the bravery he displayed during the game, particularly with relation to the declaration choice that potentially could have backfired. Vaughan tweeted: “One of the GREAT test wins .. I don’t know of any Captain in the history of Test cricket that would have got his team to Bat like his team did and then declare when he did .. unbelievable .. #PAKvENG.”

Here’s how fans reacted:

In his editorial for The Telegraph, Vaughan provided a thorough analysis of what England had done in Rawalpindi and acknowledged that the timing of Stokes’ announcement didn’t surprise him. “I can’t think of another captain who would have forced a win on that pitch – especially in the first Test of a three-match series away from home. They scored 921 runs at 6.7 an over across the match. They tried anything and everything with the ball. They declared at tea on day four, setting a target they knew Pakistan would chase down if the likes of Babar Azam got going. That was the only way it was ever going to be possible to win a Test on that pitch.

“I was not that surprised by the declaration. I knew Stokes would do that sort of thing. Would I have done that? No, and I don’t think any other England captain would have either. My style would have been to get the extra 30 runs, which would have dangled a bit of a carrot for Pakistan but left England thinking that the worst-case scenario was a draw. Bowl and field well and you might pinch a win, and on to Multan we go,” he wrote. The second Test of the three-match series between England and Pakistan will take place next, beginning December 9 in Multan.
