Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. The 2021 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is all set to begin on Saturday, February 18. The opening match is set to be played between defending champions Karachi Kings and the Quetta Gladiators at the National Stadium in Karachi. The Gladiators failed to make the playoffs last season and would be wanting to make amends.

In the meantime, Colin Ingram of the Kings posted a picture where he can be seen working hard in the nets. England’s James Vince has also landed in Karachi for the PSL. He is set to play for the Multan Sultans, who finished the league stage last time atop the points table but lost both their games in the playoffs. In the meantime, Mohammad Rizwan has replaced Shan Masood as the skipper of the Sultans.

Rizwan recently became the Player of the Series against South Africa in the T20I series where he scored a century in the first game at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. AB de Villiers, the former South Africa cricketer, celebrated his 27th birthday, and on the auspicious occasion, he was showered with wishes.
