Cricketing Trends on Social Media today
Here is how the cricketers spent their day on Twitter and Instagram today,

The cricketing trends on the social media revolved around a number of events. The first ODI between Australia and India is scheduled to be played tomorrow at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and hosts’ speedster Peter Siddle sounded excited to take the field. Former Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid celebrated his 46th birthday today and wishes poured in for the ‘The Wall’ from every nook and corner of the world.
Indian batsman Manish Pandey posted a picture along with Dravid. Teen sensation Shubman Gill hailed the retired cricketer as a great ambassador of the game. Irfan Pathan mentioned in a tweet that Dravid is one of the most respected cricketers in the world. Sachin Tendulkar also wished his ‘friend’ on the auspicious occasion. The third Test between South Africa and Pakistan is currently taking place in Johannesburg.
Former Aussie pacer Shaun Tait enjoyed the match from home. Herschelle Gibbs reckoned that the Proteas are letting go the opportunity of racking up a big score at the Wanderers courtesy of a few soft dismissals. Cricketer turned commentator Kevin Pietersen also posted a picture from the match.
Junaid Khan replaced Ali Khan for the Khulna Titans in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and he has reached Dhaka safely. Tino Best was ecstatic after Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell paired up to send Chris Gayle packing in the match between Dhaka Dynamites and defending champions Rangpur Riders.

5. Gibbs concerned about Proteas
Proteas letting a great opportunity to bat big once slip here.. a few soft dismissals. Debryun will have to change to middle guard in future if he wants to improve..can’t stand on off stump and expect to score runs consistently. #sscricket
