WATCH: Former England captain Michael Vaughan opts for haircut at roadside barber in Mumbai
In every nook and corner of India, one can easily find a barber, making it a common sight. Opting for a haircut from a roadside barber can be a distinctive experience, especially due to its affordability. Former England captain Michael Vaughan appears to be someone who appreciates this unique aspect of getting a haircut in India.
The former India skipper is presently in India for the coverage of the ODI Men’s World Cup 2023 and shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) featuring him getting a haircut and a head massage from a roadside barber in Mumbai.
The 49-year-old visited Dinajayal, whom he referred to as his “good friend,” on Ormiston Road to get a haircut ahead of Diwali. Sharing the experience on X, he wrote, “Diwali party trim and head massage from my good friend Dinajayal on Ormiston Road in #Mumbai.” The post also includes footage of Vaughan receiving a head massage with oil after his haircut.

Vaughan advised England Players to work on their fitness
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has advised Jos Buttler and other players to take inspiration from Virat Kohli and focus on their fitness for the 50-over game. Despite entering the 2023 World Cup as defending champions and favourites, England finished 7th on the points table with just three wins, failing to qualify for the semi-finals. Vaughan highlighted that the carefree attitude, which may work well in Test cricket, needs to be replaced with a fitness routine similar to Kohli’s to succeed in ODIs. England’s star players, including Buttler, Bairstow, Root, and Livingstone, failed to make a significant impact during the lacklustre tournament.
“This relaxed, carefree attitude of the Bazballers has been great but it should not roll into white-ball games. In white-ball cricket you have to be fit, running between wickets and in the outfield. Look at Virat Kohli. He spends four hours running around in the field and then goes and bats for 3-4 hours and masterminds the chase. That is fitness,” Vaughan wrote in a column.
