Cricketing Trends on social media today

Today, we have two birthday boys from the cricketing world. While New Zealand legend Stephen Fleming is celebrating his 48th birthday, Murali Vijay turns 37 today. And, several cricketers have taken to social media to wish the duo on their special day. Today, legendary actor Rajinikanth was conferred with the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award, and the likes of Dinesh Karthik and Hemang Badani have congratulated the Superstar for his accomplishment. Shoaib Akhtar has posted a controversial tweet, stating that he could have won the match for Pakistan if he was not left out of Pakistan playing XI in the 2011 World Cup semifinal against India. Led by a chancy 85 from Sachin Tendulkar, the Indian side beat Pakistan by 29 runs. Also, we are just a week away from the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), and Pat Cummins is on his way to India to join the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) camp. Brad Hogg has opined that Lungi Ngidi will fill in the void that has been created by the departure of Josh Hazelwood. The former Australian Chinaman bowler also feels that Rishabh Pant should be batting at N0.4 for the Delhi Capitals (DC) side. 1.

Irfan Pathan offers his thoughts on where Washington Sundar should bat for RCB What RCB fans thinks ? They have fire power in ABD,Maxwell,all rounders but Indian batsman who plays spin well in the middle overs will be the key for them I think. pic.twitter.com/sevqQcKsTn — Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) April 1, 2021 3.

Brad Hogg feels that Lungi Ngidi can fill in for Josh Hazlewood CSK had a brilliant bowling line up with Hazlewood in it, but one man doesn't make a team, Ngidi will fill that void with the Australian pulling out. #CSK looking fairly strong this year. #IPL2021 — Brad Hogg (@Brad_Hogg) April 1, 2021 10. Aakash Chopra offers his opinion on players who refused to play in the IPL citing bio bubble fatigue Bio-bubble fatigue is real. It does get to you too. But it’s also something you know in advance. Pulling out just 10 days before the tournament starts puts a spanner in the works for the franchise. #Hazlewood #MitchMarsh — Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) April 1, 2021 11. Brad Hogg offers his opinion on where Rishabh Pant should bat Leave him at 4. That's his spot. https://t.co/EekO3qK8mh — Brad Hogg (@Brad_Hogg) April 1, 2021 12.
