Wasim Jaffer's Hilarious Reply To Michael Vaughan's 'Kohli-Williamson Comment' Leaves Fans In Splits 

Making a controversial statement, Michael Vaughan said that had Kane Williamson been an Indian, he would have been considered as the best batsman in the world.

On social media, fans often get to see the 'war of words' between former India cricketer Wasif Jaffer and cricketer-turned-commentator Michael Vaughan. Vaughan has now yet again made an explosive statement.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan, taking a dig at Team India captain Virat Kohli, called New Zealand batsman Kane Williamson as the best batsman in the world.

Making a controversial statement, he said that had Williamson been an Indian, he would have been considered as the best batsman in the world. Vaughan also said that people who acknowledge Virat Kohli as world's best batsman do it to get more likes, views and clicks.

Wasif Jaffer has now responded to Vaughan's comments in his own unique style.

"If Kane Williamson was Indian, he'd be the greatest player in the world, but he's not because you're not allowed to say that Virat Kohli is not the greatest, because you'd get an absolute pelting on social media," Vaughan had told Spark Sport earlier this month.

"I think Kane Williamson is up there with the great players across the three formats and he certainly matches Virat Kohli. 

"It's just he doesn't have the 100 million followers on Instagram and doesn't earn the $30-40 million or whatever Virat gets every year for his commercial endorsements.

"But in terms of quality and what he brings on the pitch and his consistency I wouldn't back against Kane Williamson getting more runs pro rata - let's say three tests for Kane and six for Virat - pro rata I think Kane may score a few more runs than Virat this summer." 

Here's how fans reacted on Twitter.
