WTC Final: 'I see India have been saved by the weather' - Michael Vaughan as rain hits Day 1 in Southampton

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has said that India were "saved" by weather as rain in Southampton allowed no action on Day 1 of the WTC final. The coin toss between Virat Kohli and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson also did not take place on Friday.

The Day 1 of the World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and New Zealand was abandoned without any play due to incessant rain in Southampton, England. The two heavyweights of the game waited for almost 5 hours before the officials took the hard decision. Such was the tragedy that even coin toss between the two captains was not possible on Friday. I see India have been saved by the weather . #WorldTestChampionship Ohh now i understand why it's raining in Southampton. Stop crying Michael Vaughan!! Thank you vaughanNow surely india will win Trolling has a limit. And you have crossed that @MichaelVaughan you are respected coz you are a national cricketer of England. Dont take it as a advantage. The entire cricket universe lambasted ICC for choosing England as the venue for this historic clash. Notably, persistent rains are common during the month of June in England and hence ICC's planning did not make sense to many ardent followers of the game, who were also miffed during the 2019 World Cup in England due to similar scenarios. However, former England captain Michael Vaughan came up with another distasteful tweet for Team India.
