The cricketing trends on the social media revolved around a number of events. Leg-break bowler Rashid Khan is honoured to play in the inaugural edition of the Afghanistan Premier League (APL). Cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra uploaded a video where he was seen flying to Rajkot, bidding adieu to Mumbai. The first Test between India and the Windies is scheduled to be played in Rajkot.
Prior to the match, batsmen Prithvi Shaw and Cheteshwar Pujara chilled out by playing table tennis and the latter uploaded a video of the same. The World Cup tour has started and it has come to Pakistan. In the meantime, Fast bowler Mohammad Irfan was delighted after holding the trophy. All-rounder Mohammad Nabi was off to Dubai for playing the APL. Kumar Sangakkara will play the UAE T20X.
Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was delighted after returning home and he shared a picture along with his family. Former Australian cricketer Dean Jones expressed his delight after Aaron Finch got his maiden Test call-up in the series against Pakistan, starting October 7 in Dubai. Aussie Speedster Mitchell Starc played golf along with Travis Head and off-spinner Nathan Lyon.
