Cricketing trends on social media today

The World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and New Zealand was the most talked about topic in the cricketing trends on social media today. Siddharth Kaul has lauded Indian pace bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Ishant Sharma for their performance in the ‘ultimate’ Test, while Pragyan Ojha has described the contest between the Indian bowlers and the New Zealand batsmen as a delight for the viewers.

There was also a fan in the stadium who had congratulated Dinesh Karthik for his debut behind the microphone, and the Indian cricketer has asked the fan to come and say hello to him. Karthik has also tweeted that the cricket ball would love to be hit by Kane Williamson rather than by Virat Kohli.

Also, Rahul Chahar had some gym time with his teammates, while Mustafizur Rahman is having coffee amidst the rain. England cricketing legend Kevin Pietersen has opined that England cricketers who pull out of The Ashes Test series because they want to be with their families have his full support. And finally, today also marks the 47th birthday of ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay, and Russell Arnold and Subramaniam Badrinath have wished the Tamil actor on his birthday.
