Cricketing trends in Twitter today

Cricketing trends in Twitter today began with a host of players and former teammates taking a quick minute to tweet their wishes to birthday boy Zaheer Khan. VVS Laxman, Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh, and Parthiv Patel were among the few to wish Zaheer on his birthday.

Davy Jacobs, once a teammate of Harbhajan Singh with the Mumbai Indians thanks Bhajji Sports for the Canada gear that arrived at his doorstep. A few miles away from Jacobs, Gary Kirsten taught one and all a lesson in leadership through a single tweet.

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