Cricketing trends in Twitter today saw Indian icon batsman Sachin Tendulkar take an active part in the Mumbai Marathon while his ambassadorship came to a close after its fifteen-day event.

Most eyes and ears, however, were in Edgbaston as the first ever edition of the NatWest T20 Blast came to a close. James Taylor captured the clip of the most important part of the Blast – ‘The crowning of the Champions’. Shaun Pollock played the role of the fourth umpire as he called off the second day’s play between South Africa and New Zealand at Kingsmead, Durban.

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