Cricketing trends on social media today

If you are an Indian cricket fan, then April 2nd, 2011 is a date that will be etched in your memory. It was on this day 10 years ago, that the Indian side beat Sri Lanka with 6 wickets to spare to win the fifty over World Cup for the first time in almost three decades. And, a number of cricketers ranging from Virender Sehwag to Suresh Raina have thrown light on one of the greatest moments in the history of Indian sport.

The legendary Sachin Tendulkar has been admitted to the hospital today, and several cricketers have taken to social media to wish Tendulkar well. Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja has posted a picture where he has caught up with Mahendra Singh Dhoni ahead of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has urged all the other cricket boards not to schedule any international matches when the IPL is going on.

And finally, Irfan Pathan has offered his expert comments on the strategies that the Mumbai Indians (MI) side should adopt for the 14th edition of the IPL. So, without wasting time, let us take a glimpse into the social media accounts of our favorite cricketers.

1. Sachin Tendulkar admitted to the hospital

Thank you for your wishes and prayers. As a matter of abundant precaution under medical advice, I have been hospitalised. I hope to be back home in a few days. Take care and stay safe everyone.

Wishing all Indians & my teammates on the 10th anniversary of our World Cup 🇮🇳 win.
