Michael Vaughan's commentary gives a thorough understanding of the game to viewers

Michael Vaughan has a lot in common with Saurav Ganguly. Both were great captains of their teams and changed the course of their cricket. Both were equally brilliant as tacticians and man-managers; hence, their understanding of strategies and players’ mentality is better than any other commentator.

Vaughan has every attribute that one wants in a commentator. He can break down the technique of a player, understand the complexities of the tactics and strategies being employed, understand the psychological make-up of a player and diagnose the problems facing a team accurately.

Vaughan has occasionally landed up in controversy, for instance, when he suggested that Stuart Broad should be dropped after England’s loss to Pakistan in the first Test of the 2018 English summer. But that is only because he is frank and candid and doesn’t sugarcoat his comments to suit the players of his erstwhile team.

Whether it is understanding the requirements of a team to accomplish a certain challenge for figuring out the reasons for their performance, Vaughan’s analysis is highly rewarding to listen to.

With him, the depth of the game and its various aspects, as well as the minute technical details, all become clear to the viewer.

That’s why he is the best.
