Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan is currently immersing himself in the vibrant culture of India during the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). Vaughan’s social media feed has been filled with glimpses of his experiences in the country, from getting his beard trimmed at a local barber shop in Mumbai to playing gully cricket with kids in the suburbs.
In a recent post, Vaughan shared videos of his cricketing exploits with the local children, accompanied by playful commentary. He also took a light-hearted jab at the Indian pitches, known for their lack of bounce, a characteristic often lamented by foreign players.
