The Mohammad Hafeez and Michael Vaughan saga began when the former criticized India superstar Virat Kohli for playing with a “selfish attitude” and preferring personal milestones over teamwork on a show.

“Virat [Kohli] is currently the best player in the world cricket,” Mohammad Hafeez said after the India batter scored a century against South Africa in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. “He scored in every corner of the world. His 97 runs against South Africa were outstanding but the approach to score the remaining three runs was wrong.

“Virat [Kohli] was thinking for his personal milestone rather than his team. The intent of Virat in the last overs was to take singles to score century. This is a selfish approach by Virat for the third time in this World Cup.”
