Cricketing Trends on social media today

Social media is a place where things can get viral in no time. And if you are a celebrity with your following in millions, then even a single tweet from you can grab the limelight. 13th March 2021 was yet another eventful day and it is time for us to delve into the activities of our favorite cricket players on social media.

The England side drew first blood in the five-match T20I series against India and decimated the Virat Kohli led side in the first T20I at the Narendra Modi cricket stadium at Ahmedabad. And, after such a thumping performance by the visitors, several England players are ecstatic and rightfully so.

The West Indies won the second ODI against Sri Lanka to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. Once again, the West Indian openers gave a solid start for the ‘Men In Maroon’ as the hosts cantered home with 5 wickets to spare. And, Ian Bishop has let his thoughts known regarding the win.

Meanwhile, today is an extremely proud day for Pakistan legend Shoaib Akhtar as the KRL stadium has been renamed as the Shoaib Akhtar stadium. Also, today is a special day for both Harbhajan Singh and David Warner. Both their wives are celebrating their birthdays today, and both these cricketers have showered their love on their better halves on Twitter. While Geeta Basra (Harbhajan’s wife) turns 38 today, Candice Warner turns 36.

Also, Vinod Kambli is back to the 22 yards and played his first match at the new Wankhede stadium. So, let us unravel the various trends on social media today.
