Cricketing trends in twitter today began with the India fans, former and current cricketers celebrating Indian test skipper Virat Kohli’s birthday. Kohli, born today in 1988, turns 28 years old today. While the cricketer had a silent celebration with his close friends and family, fans and the cricketing fraternity were lined up to wish the star cricketer right from the stroke of the midnight.

On the other side, South Africa suppressed hosts Australia even further in the ongoing opening Tests at WACA as JP Duminy and Dean Elgar slam centuries. Skipper Faf du Plessis was all happy with the fabulous show by his men. Kevin Pietersen, who is a part of the commentary team, was holed up in his bed enjoying golf after wrapping his day’s work. Stuart Broad was excited about the new of his bowling partner James Anderson joining the England squad for the India series.
