Cricketing trends on social media today

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on 21st April 2021 to register their 3rd consecutive win of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). And, several cricketers have reacted to CSK’s victory. Also, Sanjay Manjrekar has lauded Deepak Chahar for being a smart bowler.

Meanwhile, ‘Chinna Thala’ Suresh Raina has heaped praise on ‘Thala’ Dhoni for completing 150 dismissals in IPL cricket. Harbhajan Singh too has extended his congratulations to the MS Dhoni-led outfit after their scintillating victory.

Meanwhile, we are still 2 days away from Sachin Tendulkar’s birthday, but already a few cricketers are excited about Tendulkar’s 48th birthday. Hemang Badani and Vinod Kambli have wished Tendulkar ‘Happy Birthday’ in advance.

Today is also Earth Day, and a number of cricketers ranging from Ishant Sharma to Dinesh Karthik wished the world a ‘Happy Earth Day’. And finally, batting legend Virat Kohli became the first-ever batsman to breach the 6000-run mark in IPL cricket, and another IPL colossus Suresh Raina has congratulated Kohli for his stupendous feat. So, on this note, let us commence the journey into the social media lives of cricketers.

9. Kris Srikkanth feels that the Rajasthan Royals side batted well

I will take 177 from being 40/4 anyday but the question is that enough at Wankhede! Good batting by the lower middle order of @rajasthanroyals to put up a fighting total! Interesting to see how @RCBTweets go about it! #RRvsRCB

10. Aakash Chopra heaps praise on Mohammed Siraj for his superb bowling against RR

Wasn’t it beautiful to see Siraj executing perfect plan against Buttler. Kept bringing the ball back in. And then following it up with a perfect Yorker….a tough ball to execute when the ball is new. #RCBvRR #IPL2021

Sanju Samson so much talent but not so much commitment to play every ball on its merit.

17. Virender Sehwag feels that the RCB side is in ominous form in the 2021 edition of the IPL

Fantastic innings from young Padikkal. And this year @RCBTweets are in ominous form, which is great to see. Kohli and Padikkal made it look very easy. #RCBvRR pic.twitter.com/fIUC9lImjP
