Ravichandran Ashwin and Michael Vaughan engaged in a light-hearted exchange over Harry Brook's comments about the smog in Kolkata during the ongoing T20I series between India and England. After failing to make an impact in the first match, where he was dismissed for just 17 by Varun Chakravarthy, Brook explained that the smog in Kolkata made it hard for him to see the ball. His remarks drew attention, especially after he was dismissed cheaply again in Rajkot for just 13 runs.
Brook's comments were made during a press interaction after England's loss in the first T20I, where he claimed that the smog had made it difficult for him to pick Chakravarthy's deliveries. Despite his claims of visibility issues, the star spinner continued to trouble him. Michael Vaughan, in a cheeky tone, took to Twitter to mock Brook's explanation, and Ashwin responded with his own witty comment, adding to the fun exchange.
Brook’s repeated failure has led to continued criticism, with many questioning his performance in the series. Meanwhile, Varun Chakravarthy’s impressive bowling in the series has been highlighted as one of the key reasons for Brook's downfall. Despite his initial excuse, it remains to be seen if Brook can turn his form around in the final matches of the series.
