Vaughan reveals Ganguly’s prediction for IND vs AUS 1st Test
After being bundled out for just 150 runs in the1st innings, India staged a remarkable turnaround to clinch a victory in Perth. The bowlers, led by skipper Jasprit Bumrah, wreaked havoc on the Australian batters. The Indian batters did well to recover in the 2nd innings, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli going on to smash centuries.
“I’ll read you something from Sourav, lads. I like humbleness in anyone that comes on the podcast. It’s very important that they’re very humble. But just to read this text message that he sent me. When did the game start? Friday, right? India got bowled out for 150, and then they got Australia for 104. And this arrived at 12 minutes past 5 on Saturday. ‘Hi Michael… My prediction is going well,” said Vaughan on the Club Praire Fire podcast.
