 "Happy Birthday Wasim Jaffer: A look at former India batter's most hilarious tweets")
Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer turns 44 on 16 February this year. The right-handed batter was a stalwart in domestic cricket and is still the highest run-scorer in the Ranji Trophy. Jaffer has scored 57 centuries and 91 fifties in the 260 first-class matches that he has played in his career. The stylish Mumbai right-hander represented India in 31 Test matches, scoring 1944 runs including five centuries. The former opener now enjoys a cult following on social media as he keeps the world updated with his hilarious tweets on cricket. He has emerged as a popular cricket celebrity who shares a number of cheeky and relatable tweets. As the cricketer turns a year older, we take a look at some of Jaffer’s recent and humorous tweets: Jaffer is often seen engaging in a banter with former England skipper Michael Vaughan. The two trade blows at each other at the expense of their team’s performance. In a three-match series against South Africa played in January this year, India lost to the Proteas 2-1. Vaughan took to Twitter and tried to poke fun at Jaffer by asking him whether he was doing okay or not.
Evening @WasimJaffer14 !! Just checking you are ok 😜

Jaffer reminded Vaughan that India had to tour England to play five Tests and the home team had only completed four Tests, leading the series 2-1.
Haha all good Michael, don't forget we are still leading you 2-1 😆 https://t.co/vjPxot43mF

The former cricketers shared another round of humorous jibes when Wasim Jaffer, who was playing for India Maharajas in the Legends League Cricket (LLC), was out for a duck in the second game against the World Giants. Former England Captain Michael Vaughan seized this opportunity to pull Jaffer’s leg by sharing a video of his batting failure in the LLC match.

Jaffer came back with a cheeky reply, saying that his performance was affected as he watched a tutorial of Vaughan’s masterclass before going to the match.
Haha very good Michael 😜😅

In hindsight shouldn't have watched this masterclass before going to bat 😛 https://t.co/O430v1UBwL pic.twitter.com/OgzErMM61K
They also took a dig at each other during the India vs England Test series played in 2021. During the fourth ODI between India and New Zealand at Hamilton in January 2019, India were bowled out for 92 and Vaughan said it was unbelievable to see a team being bowled out under 100.
92 all out India ... Can’t believe any team would get bowled out for under a 100 these days !!!!!!

The right-hander even pointed out India U-19’s performance when the team defeated England U-19 by 4 wickets in the final to lift the U-19 World Cup in February this year. He mentioned how India U-19 won the title in 2018 and 2022, along with being finalists in 2016 and 2020.
