Cricketing trends on social media today

The World Test Championship (WTC) Final might have been done and dusted yesterday, but it continues to be a trending topic in the world of cricket on social media today as well. Wishes have continued to pour in for the New Zealand side for their historic triumph over India.

Spin bowling magician Shane Warne has congratulated Kane Williamson and his men for their accomplishment, while Ravi Shastri has admitted that New Zealand was the better side in the WTC final. Brad Hogg feels that Kyle Jamieson’s extra height was the difference in the WTC Final between India and New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Alviro Petersen has been vaccinated for Covid-19, and Sanju Samson is spending some time with Krunal Pandya. Former England captain Michael Vaughan has stated that a best of three finals should not be kept to decide the winner of the WTC, as a final is a one-off game. And finally, Sanjay Manjrekar has opined that the current New Zealand Test side has more match-winners than any other New Zealand team of the past.

1. Brad Hogg feels that India can also hold their heads high as they had two successful years in the WTC

India can hold there heads high too, on what was an enthralling encounter. Hard fought cricket. They have had a successful couple of years, plenty more to come. #INDvsNZ #WTCFinal2021

3. Brad Hogg feels that Kyle Jamieson made the difference in the WTC Final

Jamieson's extra height was the difference in the #WTCFinal2021 being able to bowl fuller in the first innings of the test match more effectively than the other bowlers, and the big wickets of Kohli and Pujara in the second innings. #IndiaVsNewZealand #INDvsNZ

Fantastic by New Zealand for winning the #WTCFinal2021 . History in the making and what a good brand of cricket. Hope we can see more of this and more often rather than waiting for a couple more years. Has kept the interest and admiration for test cricket alive. !

13. Michael Vaughan opines that finals should only be one-off matches

Where in the schedule would it fit in ?? Are the IPL going to reduce the year of the final tournament by 2 weeks so it could fit in ? Doubt it ..: Finals are one off games where teams/individuals know they have to deliver … that’s what makes them so great 👍 https://t.co/MhqHkp5lvH
