The former England captain earlier, predicted that India will fail to win any series on the Australia tours, after the visitors suffered a heavy defeat in first ODI on November 27. However, Virat Kohli and Co. beat Australia in the first two T20Is to seal the series.
To which Wasim Jaffer, who is known for his witty tweets, replied to Vaughan’s claim on Twitter after India’s T20I series-win, with a Bollywood movie’s Gangs of Wasseypur Meme.

Meanwhile, in the third T20I at SCG, Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and elected to bowl first as his bowlers backed his decision by removing Aaron Finch on a duck. Wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade continued his golden run with the bat and slammed 80 runs off 53 balls.
Glenn Maxwell stitched another 50-plus partnership with Wade to take Australia on course of a big score.
The flamboyant all-rounder made full use of his dropped catches and slammed 54 runs off 36 balls and Australia posted a daunting total of 186/5 in 20 overs.
Washington Sundar was the pick of the bowlers for Team India as he picked two crucial wickets – Aaron Finch and Steve Smith. Pacers T Natarajan and Shardul Thakur shared a wicket each. While Yuzvendra Chahal’s misery on the tour continues as he remained wicketless and leaked 41 runs in his quota of 4 overs. The leggie also dropped a couple of catches in the field.
