Cricketing trends in Twitter today began with current Indian skipper Virat Kohli showcasing the first and last time he ran into Indian batting legend Rahul Dravid.

The focus of former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop was well and truly on the ongoing India tour of the West Indies as he commended the impressive performance of Shannon Gabriel while Jason Holder was certainly pleased with the motivation he was receiving in spite of the terrible performances of the West Indies side in general.

That said, here are some of the best tweets in this edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today.

1. Virat Kohli shares a picture when he met Rahul Dravid for the first time

2. Ian Bishop is certainly pleased with the bowling of Shannon Gabriel

You can't ask any more of Shannon Gabriel and the the way he's bowled & his effort in this series. He definitely deserves more wickets.
