Times of India | 10 March 2026
Ahead of the T20 World Cup final on Sunday, former England captain Michael Vaughan opted for an unusual warm-up: a classic Indian roadside shave. Vaughan’s grooming may have been sharp – but it was India who ultimately delivered the clean finish.
Match prep: Desi style
The former England skipper shared the picture on X, where he can be seen soaking in India’s local atmosphere. Vaughan patiently sat on a stool by the roadside as he got his shave, making sure to snap a few selfies to share with his fans and followers.
Netizens love some street-side swagger
Fans were amused by Vaughan’s laid-back match-day routine, joking that the former cricketer had fully embraced the “local experience.” Some praised the humble roadside grooming moment, while others said the shave was clearly the real pre-final ritual — because even cricket legends want to look extra sharp when the biggest match of the tournament begins.
