The twelfth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is less than 24 hours away. Therefore, a majority of the cricketing trends on Friday revolved around the league. Rashid Khan joined the Sunrisers Hyderabad today and tweeted that he was pleased to be back with the ‘Orange Army’. Rohit Sharma shared a few pictures from his practice and media sessions with the Mumbai Indians. He seems very eager to get onto the field and perform for his team.

Meanwhile, Suresh Raina had an important request for all of his fans. He asked them not to litter the stadiums and only use dustbins to dispose of their wastes. There were some trends about the first ODI between Pakistan and Australia as well. Even though the hosts scored 280 runs, Rameez Raja wasn’t completely impressed with the performance. He felt they didn’t finish well in the first innings. On the other hand, Mohammad Hafeez congratulated Haris Sohail for registering his maiden ODI century.

7. Ramiz Raja isn’t entirely impressed with Pakistan’s batting performance in the first ODI against Australia

Pakistan were looking good for a 300 plus but couldn’t get the power hitting part right.. also feel some of the selected players needn’t think as if they are under trial.. got to go out there and express yourself and not worry about performance pressure.

10. Hemang Badani expressed his views about the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad

RCB have always had some magnificent wins over the years but their biggest weaknesses lies in their fast bowling. I am afraid if its going to be no different this year. Happy to be proved wrong. Plenty of load on Virat/AB's shoulders. Hoping the young Hetmeyer shares some of it. pic.twitter.com/hzp1v3wiyP

12. Suresh Raina has a special request for the fans ahead of IPL 2019

The @IPL fever is kicking in! Aren’t you excited? But, hang on! Did you know an average #cricket match in #India produces 3-4.5 tons of waste. So, how are you going to help keep our stadiums clean? I'd say, go for the bins & #DontBeMeanKeepItClean. @SwachhBharatGov #SwachhIndia pic.twitter.com/UHKIeWXTvr
