Vaughan praised Team India after they defeated England in the Test series by 3-1.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan commended Team India for their Test series win over England by 3-1. He acknowledged that India are currently the best team in the cricket world.
Vaughan mentioned India's Test series win in Australia this year, followed by a dominating performance at home against Joe Root-led England side. He also called host India as favorites to win the T20 World Cup 2021 tournament.
"India, for me, are pound for pound the best team in the world. If you look at 2021, they won in Australia, they've beaten England 3-1... there's a T20 World Cup in India and they will be the favorites to win that as well", he said.

India will be touring England later this year and Vaughan said if Virat Kohli and co succeed in beating the English side at home they will become the team of the era for him. In 2018, when India played a five-match Test series touring to England, they lost the series by 4-1.
"They've also got the challenge to come to England in a few months' time for 5 Test matches. If they beat England, who are tough to beat in home conditions with the ball moving around... if India comes here and beats England, and I wouldn't bet against them with that they've got on the talent.
"If they beat England in England then I think they are the team of this era. They've got enough. They've got the pace, the skill, the spinners and they've obviously got Virat Kohli. They are a tremendous team," Vaughan said on the radio for BBC 5 Live Sport.
India has been a beast at their home; winning the 13th consecutive Test series with a victory over England on Saturday (March 6).
