Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. Today, Mayank Agarwal, the Indian opener celebrated his 29th birthday and he was poured with wishes from every nook and corner across the globe. Even KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan took to their official handle to wish their Indian compatriot on his special day.

Sourav Ganguly, the BCCI chief confirmed that India will play a Day/Night Test on their tour to Australia that is scheduled to begin later this year. Aakash Chopra, the famous Indian commentator was quite happy over the same and also urged to play that Day/Night affair in Adelaide instead of Perth.

Meanwhile, Shahid Afridi, the former Pakistan all-rounder was thankful to all his followers for suggesting different names for his newly-born daughter. Furthermore, he also revealed that his family has gone with ‘Avra’ as the name of the newly born girl.

On the other hand, Michael Vaughan, former England skipper did not look impressed with the approach of England in the T20I series decider against South Africa. He said that the bowlers should go for the yorkers instead of bowling other line or length in the match due to which they were smacked for 60 runs in first five overs of the innings.

1. Michael Vaughan talks about the value of yorker for a bowler

The modern player dismisses older players talk about bowling the Yorker because it might get ramped … Well the only ball so far not going into the stands Is the Yorker length !!!!! SA 60 for 0 after 5 !!!!! You do the maths ……. #SAvENG #OnOn
