Cricketing Trends on Social Media Today

The cricketing trends on social media today revolved around various events as cricketers took to their social media handles to express themselves. New Zealand and Pakistan locked horns in the second T20I of the three-match series and the hosts ended up winning the match comfortably. Pakistan top-order once again collapsed in the absence of Babar Azam.

But this is when Mohammad Hafeez stepped up and played a brilliant knock of 99* to propel the team’s score to 163/6 after 20 overs. New Zealand chased down the score with nine wickets in hand. Shoaib Akhtar was not happy with the players pointing out the technical flaws in their dismissals.

Meanwhile, Aakash Chopra wanted to know more about Mohammed Shami‘s injury. He has fractured his arm after being hit during the first Test in Adelaide and will now miss the rest of the Test series. Prithvi Shaw is in the news since the day-night Test and Brad Hogg also came up with a fun fact regarding his performance in Adelaide.

4. Alviro Petersen is not happy with South Africa’s Test squad against Sri Lanka

Can anyone tell me why @dom_hendricks is not considered for @OfficialCSA test squad? He is one of the better batters this season! Face the new ball! Any journo's pushing for him like they push others? Is he a outcast? Well he is BETTER than some! #Canwebefair!?? Comments welcome?

13. Rumman Raees praises Mohammad Hafeez for his majestic knock against New Zealand

And he keeps getting better, given the circumstances, this 99* today was better than a lot of centuries. MashAllah lovely Hafeez Bhai, keep going, for the reason that Pakistan needs you, the world needs to see your heroics, Zindabad! @MHafeez22 https://t.co/BAGG4LW6Pb

14. Brad Hogg analyses technique of Josh Philippe in his dismissal

Philippe only has himself for that dismissal, off balance and over emphasized his movements towards the sheds after the shot and appeal. Umpire thought he was walking. #BBL10
