Former Pakistan captain, Salman Butt, lashed out at the former England captain, Michael Vaughan, for his below-the-belt comments towards him. The two former players indulged in a war of words on social media after Vaughan stirred up a controversy by comparing the Indian captain, Virat Kohli, to the New Zealand captain, Kane Williamson.

Vaughan had stated that Kane Willaimson would have been regarded as the greatest batsman in the world if he had been Indian, which stirred up the Indian cricketing fraternity. Salman Butt entered the conversation and took a sly dig at Vaughan, reminding him that Kohli has scored 43 ODI centuries, while Vaughan failed to score an ODI ton throughout his career.
This did not sit well with Vaughan, who took a jibe at Butt for his match-fixing scandal. He replied, “This is very true Salman but you forgot to mention that I haven’t been a match fixer corrupting our great game either like some.”
Butt said that Vaughan’s reaction was unjustified and was out of order.

He said, “I don’t want to get into details. I just want to say that he’s picked the topic in the wrong context. There is no justification for a reaction like this. This is very below-average, below-the-belt. If he wants to live in the past and wants to talk about it, he surely can. Constipation is an illness. Things get stuck and they don’t come out that easily. Some people have mental constipation. Their minds are in the past. That doesn’t matter.”
Butt concluded that Vaughan should have talked about cricket and tried to prove him right, but he chose to do the opposite, which defines him as a human being.
