The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. Coronavirus outbreak has left the lives of citizens quite miserable across the globe. The global sports events have been postponed or cancelled due to their threats.

Majority of the cricketing series have been cancelled in the mid-way due to COVID-19 pandemic. So, Rohit Sharma has shared a clip on social media in which he is asking everyone to just stay calm and take every single precaution that they can take to protect themselves.

On the other hand, Shoaib Akhtar takes a strong dig against India. He took his handle and shared a post that said on how it feels to be lockdown due COVID-19. In the end, the answer was written as Kashmir. The fans brought him under the scanner and bashed him upside down.

Meanwhile, some cricketers asked their fans to tell them about which series to watch on Netflix due to lockdown. Shoaib Mali asks his fans to nominate their favourite heroes in sports or tag them on social media.

Suresh Raina came out with a still in which he could be spotted wearing a mask as a precaution in order to stay away from getting affected with deadly Coronavirus. Iqbal Abdullah looked optimistic as he wrote a motivational quote on the social media platform. Even he posted on his snaps with the same.
