Cricketing Trends on Social Media Today

There wasn’t any significant cricketing action on Sunday. Most of the players are gearing up for the IPL while South Africa and Sri Lanka will play the T20I series next. Thus, the cricketing trends revolved around a wide array of topics. JP Duminy wrote that he was privileged to represent South Africa for many years. As he played his last ODI at home, the left-handed batsman put up an emotional tweet.

Shahid Afridi and Sir Viv Richards spoke about the Christchurch shooting where the toll of deaths rose up to 50. Bangladesh Test skipper Mahmudullah Riyad put up a tweet after reaching home safely. He expressed his sentiment after witnessing the horrific scenes first-hand. Suresh Raina, Sachin Tendulkar and Irfan Pathan wished India’s star badminton player Saina Nehwal on her birthday.

2. The lack of respect from some footballers towards the officials is horrifying

You see the behaviour of some footballers and their aggression towards the officials, and it makes a lot of sense why some fans think they can carry on like thwhy do.

The lack of respect is horrifying!

🤮🙈

10. Shahid Afridi has got a special request for the organisers of the PSL

As we mourn the loss of innocent lives in the #ChristChurchTerrorAttack & 9 Pakistanis’ Shahadat in it. Request the organizers of #HBLPSL to observe one minute silence as a token of respect and would also be better if they can honor them by limiting the concert to National songs.
