Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The whole world is grappling with the COVID-19 outbreak and people are left with no choice but to abide by the lockdown in such stern situation. The situation hasn’t subsided yet and the world has witnessed over 2 lakh deaths so far. Meanwhile, in India, the death toll has crossed over 1000 and more than 35,000 people have tested positive.

To tackle the pandemic, India PM Narendra Modi had announced an extended lockdown until May 3. However, considering the current situation, the lockdown has been further extended for two more weeks. Many cricketers have come forward to extend their support during the pandemic and several cricketers shared the news on their Twitter. Many cricketers have also donated to aid in the battle against the pandemic.

Meanwhile, wishes poured in for the Test and T20 side of the Australian side for reaching the No.1 position in ICC rankings. Dean Jones also joined the bandwagon and lauded the Australian side for their achievement. He also lauded the captaincy of Aaron Finch as this was the first time when the Aussies topped the T20I rankings table. Aaron Finch also acknowledged wishes to all the individuals who wished him for achieving this historic feat.

On the occasion of Labour Day, many cricketers including Subramani Badrinath extended wishes to all the individuals. He termed them as ‘engines’ and held them responsible for running the nation. Meanwhile, James Anderson, who had auctioned his stumps and jersey to raise funds for coronavirus, thanked everyone for all the bids.
