Cricketing trends in Twitter today began with Sri Lankan prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe felicitates Sri Lanka Cricket team led by Angelo Mathews, for their whitewash over Australia in the three-match Test series. Mathews was quick to express his gratitude towards the prime minister.

Dinesh Karthik led TNPL franchise Tuti Patriots celebrated their title victory and his wife was super excited to share the moment of joy. Sachin Tendulkar congratulates Amitabh Bachchan for his performance in the movie named ‘Pink’. Former Pakistan pace bowler, Wasim Akram excited to host PSL Championship Trophy at Faisal Mosque in Islamabad.

How a day without Virender Sehwag’s tweet can go by as today it was the Airlines, who gets trolled by the former Indian opener. Australian skipper Steve Smith is hopeful of a successful tour of South Africa. Charlotte Edwards absolutely enjoyed the two weeks she had with the MCC and Ryan Sidebottom felt honoured as Yorkshire extended his contract for the 2017 season.

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