Cricketing trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media today was mostly about the Indian team’s win over Windies in the 5th ODI. With that, the Men in Blue also won the ODI series 3-1. A lot of cricketers also tweeted to appreciate Azhar Ali’s decision to retire from limited-overs cricket. As against the trend Azhar wants to focus on Test cricket and will thus play just that format at the highest level.

It was a massive day for Indian legend Rahul Dravid as he was inducted into the ICC’s Hall of Fame, his friend from the Indian team, VVS Laxman also celebrates his birthday today. There was a lot more than this that the cricketing community was focused on today.

9. Manjrekar appreciates the fact that Azhar Ali decided to retire from ODI cricket to focus on his Test career which is clearly against the trend

12. Aakash Chopra is confused after a hapless performance from Windies in the final ODI

Which was the real Windies. The one that tied at Vizag and won at Pune. Or the one that was annihilated at Mumbai and Thiruvananthapuram? #IndvWI
