Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara had a funny moment with former England captain Michael Vaughan during a broadcast show before the India vs England 1st Test at Headingley.

Pujara walked onto the set holding a framed printout of Vaughan’s old tweet from 2020, where Vaughan had predicted a 4-0 series win for Australia against India. This tweet came after India were bowled out for just 36 runs in the first Test at Adelaide during the 2020-21 series.

But as we know, India made a stunning comeback and went on to win the series 2-1, including a famous win at the Gabba, where Australia had not lost in over 30 years.

Pujara, who was one of the heroes of that series, asked Vaughan to sign the tweet on live TV. The moment made everyone laugh, including fellow commentator Sunil Gavaskar. Vaughan took the joke sportingly and signed the frame with a smile.

The fun exchange showed the friendly side of cricket, and fans loved how Pujara used humour to remind Vaughan of how wrong his prediction was. It was a perfect example of how even serious players can have a good laugh, especially when the joke is backed by a historic win.
