Cricketing Trends on Social Media Today

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic when the cricket scenario in India is at a standstill, the BCCI, in order to avoid heavy losses, had earlier stated about hosting the much-awaited IPL 2020 in the latter part of the year. With T20 World Cup’s postponement on Monday, the Indian board is all set to utilize the September-November window and shift the IPL to UAE this year.

With the shift in the venue, it will be an arduous task for the board to make arrangements in a different country altogether. However, former Australia international Brad Hogg has backed the idea of shifting the cash-rich league to UAE. Hogg said that no air-travel should be allowed once the player land in the country and strict security should be followed in hotels.

Suresh Raina, who has been quite active on social media amid the pandemic, shared an adorable video while going for a drive with his daughter. Raina, during the rains in Delhi, was seen driving his car with his daughter Gracia beside him on the front seat.

Mayank Agarwal’s ‘OpenNetsWithMayank’ had hogged much limelight as the guest was Sourav Ganguly in the inaugural episode. Meanwhile, Agarwal, on Wednesday, revealed that current India skipper Virat Kohli is set to be his next guest on the show. The BCCI also released a teaser of the episode where ‘Captain Kohli’ was seen sporting a ‘retro’ look.
