Cricketing trends in twitter today saw tweets from different parts of the world poured in. Chris Gayle as always started off the banter by telling his West Indian teammate Darren Sammy to keep a secret. Glenn McGrath proved to the world that he has a sweet tooth by advertising his Valentine’s Day chocolates. Sachin Tendulkar endorsed the cyclists from Delhi to Mumbai to raise money for charity. Former Sri Lankan skippers Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara took to twitter to show their happiness following Sri Lanka’s win in the first T20 at Pune.

One of the best fielders of his era, Jonty Rhodes shed light on the blinding catch pulled off by Suresh Raina. It was back on the road for the Indian squad as they travelled to Ranchi for the second T20. Harbhajan Singh, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan illustrated the point with an appropriate selfie. Australian test opener Ed Cowan took to twitter to motivate Shane Warne to swallow the grumps given to him on the celebrity TV show.

Sam Billings recalled what was a wonderful week as he returned the favour to those who wished him. Former South African spinner Pat Symcox thanked his lucky stars following the red card rule passed by the ICC. Kevin Pietersen’s day will not end without a tweet. Here, KP is seen requesting his former employers, the ECB for a break due to the hectic schedule with the IPL and PSL in the itinerary.
