Michael Vaughan broke away from the usual trend of favoring India as one of the top contenders in ICC events and major tournaments by choosing not to include the 2007 T20 World Cup champion in his top four selections. This departure from tradition was welcomed by Indian fans, who appreciated Vaughan’s decision. They felt that Vaughan’s endorsement of India in the past often coincided with the team’s underperformance, leading to disappointment in crucial stages like the semi-finals or finals of tournaments.
