Cheteshwar Pujara Claps Back at Michael Vaughan\u2019s Bold Prediction. Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara responded cheekily to Michael Vaughan\u2019s recent tweet on X,<\/a> where the former England captain predicted an England series win against India. With the five-match Test series currently tied at 1-1, both teams are now preparing for the pivotal third Test, set to begin on July 10 at Lord\u2019s Cricket Ground in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England drew first blood in the series with a five-wicket win in the opening Test. However, India roared back in style during the second Test at Edgbaston, securing a massive 336-run victory. Under Shubman Gill\u2019s leadership, India posted a colossal target of 608 runs \u2014 and bowled England out for just 271 in their second innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gill was named Player of the Match for his sensational double century in the first innings and a brilliant hundred in the second. The bowlers also stepped up, with Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep each claiming six wickets, playing a crucial role in India\u2019s dominant win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
