Cricketing trends in Twitter today

Cricketing trends in Twitter today mostly revolved around Ajinkya Rahane and his finely constructed century. Former India batsman VVS Laxman was the first to start the applause while Robin Uthappa chose to send out his congratulations to wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha.

Virender Sehwag shared a quick memory from the past that sent India into a frenzy while former Australian keeper Adam Gilchrist found an old jersey of Kevin Pietersen while the latter was with the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

That said, here are some of the best tweets in today’s edition of Cricketing trends in twitter today.
