Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer has grown into an internet sensation on Twitter with his witty tweets and responses. He is very regular on the micro-blogging site and has left fans in split with his humour. Another example of his humorous responses was on display when he took a dig at former England skipper Michael Vaughan for his statement comparing Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson.
Vaughan said if “Kane Williamson was Indian, he’d be the greatest player in the world,” and “you’re not allowed to say that Virat Kohli is not the greatest because you’d get an absolute pelting on social media.”

Talking to Spark Sport earlier this month, Vaughan said “If Kane Williamson was Indian, he’d be the greatest player in the world, but he’s not because you’re not allowed to say that Virat Kohli is not the greatest, because you’d get an absolute pelting on social media.”
“I think Kane Williamson is up there with the great players across the three formats and he certainly matches Virat Kohli. It’s just he doesn’t have the 100 million followers on Instagram and doesn’t earn the $30-40 million or whatever Virat gets every year for his commercial endorsements.”

He further added “But in terms of quality and what he brings on the pitch and his consistency I wouldn’t back against Kane Williamson getting more runs pro-rata – let’s say three tests for Kane and six for Virat – pro-rata I think Kane may score a few more runs than Virat this summer.”
Jaffer’s tweet left fans in split and they were quick in reacting to this fitting response.
