Wasim Jaffer is well known for his controversial responses and he gave a fitting reply to Vaughan, indirectly talking about the latter not scoring double centuries and triple centuries as a player.

He replied to Michael Vaughan’s tweet “Yes Michael Wankhede is a batting paradise, too bad I missed out in the couple of Tests I played there. Could be because I preferred challenges. Like the challenge of scoring home & away Test 200s or FC 200s & 300s.. but you wouldn’t know any of those feelings so nevermind 😏.”
