Cricketing trends in Twitter today

The subject of today’s edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today was the fact that two prominent South Africans spoke on their flights. First, it was Morne Morkel, the bowler who will certainly be seeing a lot more cricket following the Kolpak deals signed by his fellow countrymen in recent times, had a problem with South Africa Express flight. However, despite this, Jacques Kallis had such a good experience in his flight Etihad Airways that he even felt the need to tweet it.

India’s skipper Virat Kohli released a video after being conferred with the Padmasree award for the year. Gautam Gambhir however, had a problem with patriotic music not being played even after the Republic Day celebrations. Ravi Ashwin however, chose to watch the Australian Open semifinal between Rafael Nadal and Grigor Dimitrov.

Chris Gayle chimed in a quick workout and also somehow saw the need to make a video out of it as well. That said, here are some of the best tweets in today’s edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today.
