Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Vaughan was a master in all sense. His batting closely resembled to that of Mike Atherton. He walked in to face his first ball in Test cricket with his side reeling at 2/4 on a juicy Johannesburg pitch in 1999-00. He did not score too many that day, but the first impressions were to create a lasting memory in people's minds. His first Test century duly arrived at Old Trafford in 2001 against Pakistan.
2002 was the year where in Vaughan truly excelled. He scored 900 runs in the home test series against Sri Lanka and India and followed it up with 633 runs on the Ashes tour of Australia. This run of form made Vaughan the number one batsman in the world according to the ICC rankings, the first Englishman to achieve this since Graham Gooch. His ODI numbers did not do justice to his talent though as he struggled in the shorter format of the game.
Despite his ODI struggles, Vaughan was made the ODI captain for the 2003 home season and inherited the Test captaincy weeks later after Nasser Hussain resigned unexpectedly. It was a torrid examination of his skills, but Vaughan showed that he had an astute brain as he guided England to a 2-2 draw against South Africa. Things slipped a bit in Sri Lanka as England lost 0-1, but Vaughan helped England beat the West Indies in their own den for the first time in three decades. The summer of 2004 was one of the best for Vaughan and the English team as they swept aside New Zealand and West Indies to complete a 7-0 whitewash for the season.
This was followed by a satisfying 2-1 series win in South Africa before completing a 2-1 result in a mesmerizing 2005 Ashes series. Injury though cut short his participation on the sub-continental tours of Pakistan and India and wrecked his 2006 season. It also forced him to miss out on the chance to lead England in defence of the Ashes. Flintoff was named the captain and England were humiliated 5-0. He played little role in the CB series thereafter and led England in another poor 2007 WC campaign.
Vaughan seemed to be back when he led England to a 2-0 home series victory against West Indies. His own form seemed to be on the upswing when he cracked 103 at his beloved Leeds. Vaughan surpassed Peter May as the man who had led England to most Test victories, with 21 wins. It was followed by a 0-1 loss against Rahul Dravid led India. After another loss, the following year against South Africa at Edgbaston, Vaughan resigned from captaincy.
With his form dwindling, Vaughan announced his retirement from Test cricket as the 2009 Ashes drew closer. Vaughan was chosen as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2003 and became the first cricketer ever to be featured on the cover of the 140th edition of Wisden (in the same year) after his excellent batting in 2002. In December 2005, the England cricket team was awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Team Award. On 31 December 2005, the entire Ashes-winning England cricket team was awarded the Queen's New Years' Honours, with Vaughan, team coach Duncan Fletcher and manager Phil Neale being honoured with OBEs and the rest of the side being awarded MBEs. Vaughan was named in the Test Team of the Year at the 2007 ICC Awards.
Some of his criticisms and tweets regarding the Indian team during their ill-fated tour of England in 2011 received world wide lambasting from the Indian fans.
Vaughan then became a regular commentator with Sky Sports and also travels across the globe for some major events.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Michael Vaughan will forever be known in English sporting history as the first captain to win an Ashes series in a generation, his calm, obdurate and ruthlessly effective leadership overshadowing his not inconsiderable contributions as a batter armed with a classy, composed technique that placed him briefly at the top of the world rankings.
Vaughan faced up to his first ball in Test cricket with England four wickets down for two runs on a damp flyer in Johannesburg in November 1999 and drew immediate comparisons with Michael Atherton for his inhumanly calm aura at the crease. Unlike Atherton, Vaughan blossomed magnificently, playing with a freedom of expression that Atherton had never approached.
He sparkled his way to 900 runs in seven Tests against Sri Lanka and India in 2002, the prelude to a formidable series in Australia in which he became the first visiting batter in over three decades to top 600 runs. Vaughan was appointed captain of England's one-day side in time for the 2003 home season, and inherited the Test captaincy two weeks later when Nasser Hussain abdicated out of the blue. Despite a torrid baptism against South Africa, including a massive defeat at Lord's, Vaughan guided his team to a 2-2 draw. After a stutter in Sri Lanka, he confirmed the arrival of a new era by leading England to a rout of West Indies on their home soil, the first time in over 35 years an England team had achieved such a feat.
He missed the opening Test of the summer that year but returned to guide England to a clean sweep with victories over New Zealand (3-0) and West Indies (4-0), went on to record a memorable 2-1 series win in South Africa, and then achieved nirvana with the same scoreline in arguably the greatest series of all time.
That was Vaughan's pinnacle. It was followed by time out of cricket with a knee injury that also kept him out of England's infamous 2006-07 series in Australia, where they were pummelled 5-0 under Andrew Flintoff. Vaughan was recalled, as one-day captain, for the CB Series, which England won, though he himself only played three of ten games. Two months after the 2007 ODI World Cup, which he limped through in more ways than one, he quit the white-ball captaincy, having had by then re-established himself at the helm of the Test side.
He scored a memorable century on home turf at Headingley in his comeback game, but though there were hundreds against India at Trent Bridge later that year, and New Zealand at Lord's in 2008, he was never quite the same. After a loss to South Africa at Edgbaston that year, he resigned. Though he vowed to play on, as the 2009 Ashes drew closer it became apparent that he was out of contention and he called it quits in June 2009.
After retirement, he took to life as a commentator (on social media as much as on television) with gusto, often ruffling feathers with his views. In 2021, Vaughan was named in the report that followed Azeem Rafiq's allegations of systemic racism in the Yorkshire cricket set-up, in regard to alleged use of racist language ahead of a county game in 2009, but he was cleared after a hearing by the ECB.
