How did the cricketers around the world spend their time on social media today? So, it is time to analyze the activities of our favorite players in this section of cricket trends on social media.

On 12th March 2021, India and England will lock horns against each other in the first T20I, and it looks like the Indian players are ready for the battle. Shreyas Iyer just cannot wait for time to pass and is looking forward to taking the field on 12th March 2021. Same is the case with Indian skipper Virat Kohli as well. Meanwhile, former Indian batsman Wasim Jaffer has given his choice regarding who should take the field in tomorrow’s game for the Indian side.

Today is also the auspicious occasion of Mahashivaratri, and a number of cricketers took to Twitter to extend their wishes on the special occasion. Sri Lanka and West Indies locked horns in the first ODI on 10th March 2021, and while West Indies managed to canter home by 8 wickets, the match also had a controversial moment. Danushka Gunathilaka was given out obstructing the field when he was batting well on 55, and that led to a collapse from which Sri Lanka never recovered from. And, Brad Hogg has some words to offer regarding the issue.

Shai Hope scored a sublime century in the first ODI against Sri Lanka, and Ian Bishop is extremely impressed with Hope’s classy ton. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja has entered into practice mode. 11th March 2021 marks the 106th birth anniversary of Indian cricketing legend Vijay Hazare, and Amol Muzumdar has extended his birthday wishes to Hazare. Also, Sri Lankan cricketer Dhammika Prasad tried his hand at the bottle flip challenge. So, let us take the social media plunge to know what were the various trends today.

1. Brad Hogg offers his opinion on Danushka Gunathilaka’s dismissal

Gunathilaka definitely out obstructing the fielder, he had showed no urgency getting back in his crease as 2 fielders converge on the ball, run out opportunity at the other end. Pollard full rights to appeal & umpires have made a good decision. Game Awareness #SLvWI #cricket pic.twitter.com/FLkseX1MES
