Former English batter Michael Vaughan mocked India's desperation on the field and made a witty tweet saying he had approached the Indian team to offer himself as a fielding coach, but the team denied. Notably, India, most importantly Yashasvi Jaiswal has struggled horribly, dropping four catches in the match. Michael Vaughan posted on X (formerly twitter) handle saying,
"Just to let you all know I have offered myself to India as a fielding coach .. My academy does a roaring trade."
India has been horrible on the field. Dropping catches and unbelievable misfields cost the team huge runs on the board and the weak bowling lineup could not defend the score against the English. Notably, T. Dilip has been reappointed as the fielding coach of the team, but on a temporary basic after a failed search for some overseas coach.
