Cricketing Trends on social media today

The biggest trend on social media today was all about the legends of the game. The India Legends, led by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar beat the Sri Lanka Legends by 14 runs in the summit clash of the Road Safety World Series at Raipur. Led by a rampaging 36 ball 62* from Yusuf Pathan and a devastating 60 off 41 deliveries from Yuvraj Singh, the India Legends came out on top in the final. And, a number of cricketers have expressed their thoughts and congratulated the India Legends side for their stupendous performance.

The eagerly anticipated ODI series between India and England will commence on 23rd March 2021, and the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and Jos Buttler are ready for the battle. Also, Sanjay Manjrekar has come out with some stats and has revealed that England will have to rethink their short-ball strategy.

Meanwhile, England pacer Jofra Archer has claimed that his Twitter account is hacked. Also, the West Indies and Sri Lanka are facing each other in the first Test match at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. And, Jason Holder scalped a five-wicket haul to help his side to restrict the visitors to a total of just 169. Shai Hope and Ian Bishop have congratulated Holder for his resplendent performance with the red cherry in hand. On that note, let us get started on this social media expedition.
