Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. Today, Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades came face to face in a Big Bash League match. Glenn Maxwell played a swashbuckling knock of 83 runs off 43 balls with seven sixes and one boundary. Maxwell managed to pull off a convincing win for his side.

Even this was the fifth consecutive win of Melbourne Stars in BBL 2019-20. After the game, he was poured with wishes from every nook and corner across the globe. Former England skipper Michael Vaughan also quoted him saying Maxwell is certainly a freak.

Meanwhile, Chris Gayle, who is currently playing for Chattogram Challengers in Bangladesh Premier League, highlighted the fact that Pakistan is the safest place in the world as no team should fear travelling that nation for playing an international cricket series.

On the other hand, Aakash Chopra gave his reaction over the ongoing T20I game between India and Sri Lanka. He feels that the game is changing very quickly as the hosts lost a couple of wickets very early after getting a brilliant start to their game on the back of their openers. Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul scored magnificent fifties in the final T20I game of three-match series.

2. Sanjay Manjrekar likes Mahela Jayawardene as a commentator 

Don’t know if he has long term plans with it, but Mahela as a commentator is just brilliant! Great to have him albeit for a short series.

This game is changing rapidly…four wickets in double-quick time.
Point to Note—India playing only 5 bowlers. 10 an over from here mandatory. #IndvSL

Not a bad effort from us tonight, decent score on a good wicket, @Gmaxi_32 just far too good for us, and for this level!!

FYI – no beef between myself and Glenn at the end – I was just asking him why he wasn’t in India?! 😂
