The former cricketers Michael Vaughan and Wasim Jaffer were once again at it on social media – engaging in a friendly exchange on X, formerly known as Twitter. The playful interaction between the two former cricketers took off after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a congratulatory post, celebrating Jay Shah, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah for being named among the most powerful Indians.
Michael Vaughan couldn’t resist taking a dig and reshared the post with a tongue-in-cheek query, “What number is Wasim Jaffer?”

In response, Wasim Jaffer took a witty swipe, referencing Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan’s well-known physical trait. “Like I had said before, extra ungli Hrithik ke paas hai par karta Michael Vaughan hai,” he quipped.

Not one to back down from a humorous exchange, Vaughan came up with an equally funny reply that read, “Because I am Jadoo”.
His response was a nod to the iconic alien character from Hrithik Roshan’s popular film Koi Mil Gaya, cleverly tying into Wasim Jaffer’s remark.

Wasim Jaffer’s reference to Hrithik’s extra finger carried a deeper meaning, rooted in a Hindi idiom, implying that Vaughan was unnecessarily interfering in the matters that did not concern him. However, Vaughan’s quick-witted response showed he was game for the banter, turning the conversation into yet another entertaining moment for cricket fans on social media.
