Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan is known to keep his fans well-entertained through his social media posts on a regular basis. On Saturday, the former England skipper took to Twitter to share a viral video of an elephant playing cricket.
The video, originally posted by an account named @Gannuuprem shows an elephant hitting the ball with a stick in different directions, much to the amusement of his human friends who bowl to it. The video was captioned:
“Have you seen an elephant playing cricket? Well, he is better than many international players.”
Impressed by the animal’s batting skills, Michael Vaughan also tweeted the video with a cheeky caption. He wrote:

Just like the original video itself, Vaughan’s reaction to it has also gone viral and has also invited funny digs and replies from Indian fans.
Some fans even went on to take a jibe at Vaughan’s comments on Indian pitches during England’s tour to India. One of the top replies was “Pitch is too dusty. Englishmen can’t play on it.” Another said, “He will eat all the grass on the pitch.“
Another comment read, “shows more intent than Malan in t20s. could replace him.”
Vaughan is known for his outspoken personality. He recently showed his support for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season. Before the suspension of the IPL 2021, he stated that the tournament should carry on as it brings joy to the billions of people every evening in these tough times during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite his support to the IPL, Vaughan also criticised the England and Australian cricketers, who were allowed to pull out of the South Africa series, while they were allowed to play in India.
Taking to Twitter, the former England captain wrote:
“I think the IPL should carry on .. The joy it will be bringing billions in these awful times every evening is important .. but I do find it tough to think back how England & Aussie pulled out of games in SA,yet both countries players are allowed to play in India !!! #IPL2021”.
