Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on the social media revolved around a number of events. Indian wicketkeeper-batsman was deeply saddened by the collapse of the Majherhat bridge in Kolkata that injured many. James Anderson expressed his delight after playing golf with Alastair Cook, who announced his international retirement yesterday. In the meantime, JP Duminy, Jonathan Trott, and James Taylor wished Cook after he hung his boots.

Former English cricketer Michael Vaughan was unhappy with the pitch prepared for the match between Northants and Kent in Canterbury. Shoaib Akhtar was stunned after visiting the Kashmir valley for the first time. VVS Laxman was all praise for 71-year old medical oncologist for his dedication towards his work. Sachin Tendulkar wished former Proteas all-rounder Lance Klusener on the latter’s 47th birthday.

Robin Uthappa was highly satisfied with the Indian contingent, which bagged 69 medals in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta. Chris Gayle uploaded an advertisement where he was seen playing poker. Azhar Mahmood congratulated Ehsan Mani after he became the president of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Dr Suresh Advani is a 71-year-old medical oncologist with 80 percent locomotor disability. When he was 8 he had suffered polio and became wheelchair-bound. Despite this, he works for 15 hours everyday, attending to around 100 cancer patients everyday. Truly inspiring 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/PXVJCZnlZ5

12. JP Duminy praise Alastair Cook

In this beautiful game we play, powers of concentration is certainly one of the pillars that separate the men from the boys, none better than Alastair Cook.. Lead from the front and will certainly go down as one of the GOAT’s of the Test Game. Congrats mate 🐐🐐#CookRetires

13. Jonathan Trott is finding it difficult to believe that Cok won’t play for England again 

It’ll be strange to see an England side without this guy in it. Some great moments on the field with Chef, but some better ones off it. A great servant and example to others around him. Sure he’ll make a great sheep farmer too! One of the best… pic.twitter.com/r2tJfXiKYj
