The cricketing trends on the social media revolved around a number of events. India are currently playing the second match of the four-Test series against Australia at the new Perth Stadium and they have done a reasonable job. Indian skipper Virat Kohli racked up his 25th Test century, but couldn’t save his team from conceding a lead of 43 to their opponents. The Indian pacers have been excellent and they have drawn praise from the cricketing fraternity.
Michael Vaughan couldn’t stop praising the Indian bowlers. Tom Moody hailed Jasprit Bumrah, who apart from picking up wickets also hit opener Marcus Harris on the head with a vicious bouncer. Retired bowler Mitchell Johnson took a dig at Kohli, mentioning that he didn’t walk after Peter Handscomb took his catch in the slip cordon. Kevin Pietersen and Ian Bell praised Kohli for churning out yet another masterclass with the willow in hand.
Ace shuttler PV Sindhu became the first Indian to win the BWF World Tour Finals tournament. She humbled Nozomi Okuhara in straight sets (21-19, 21-17). The likes of Deep Dasgupta, Suresh Raina, Sachin Tendulkar, and many others couldn’t stop heaping praises on Sindhu. Former batsman Virender Sehwag wished his wife Aarti on her birthday. Former Aussie pacer Glenn McGrath wished his wife Sara Leonardi on her birthday.
1. Johnson takes a dig at Kohli
One batsman walked the other didn’t, both out. Handscomb catch was soft out & went to third umpire given out, Rahul catch given out on field hazelwood walked no questions. Scoreboard says out for both so happy with both decisions. pic.twitter.com/DQr70kZ7uT

ANOTHER 100 for @imVkohli today…he’s making every single one of us that batted before him in international cricket, look like schoolboys!
So proud of you, dude!

5. Moody all praise for Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah's bowling today was lethal, he showed not only great skill but enormous heart. Test is in the balance, Australia received good news on Finch, expect him to bat tomorrow! #AUSvIND

10. Tendulkar hails Indian speedsters
Nice to see the Indian fast bowling looking more hostile than the Australian fast bowling attack. Keep firing it in guys… #INDvAUS

11. Sehwag wishes her wife

Happy Birthday @AartiSehwag ! pic.twitter.com/HnLQGf9D2F— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) December 16, 2018
12. Shane Warne confident about Handscomb
I would love to be positive about Handscomb. But enough now, it’s not fair on Peter to keep picking him – it’s a lamb to the slaughter. I’ve said it so many times now, but you cannot play international cricket with a technique like that. Stoinis in if fit if not then M Marsh !
