Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 dished out two exciting matches for fans. Pakistan Women locked horns with West Indies Women and the former cruised to a comfortable eight-wicket victory to flag off their World Cup campaign. Many Pakistan cricketers including Hassan Ali, Kamran Akmal and Wahab Riaz lauded the Women in Green for their triumph.

England Women were also showered with appreciation all across Twitter after their comprehensive win against Thailand Women. England skipper Heather Knight smashed a brilliant ton to propel her side to the victory. In the process, she etched her name into the record books as she became the first women cricketer to smash a century in all three formats. Heather Knight’s heroic knock was lauded by many teammates and fans.

Meanwhile, the whole nation is amid the riots caused in Delhi. Cricketers also voiced out their opinion regarding the same as Rohit Sharma and Amit Sharma called for peace and sympathized the riots. The pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan has emerged as one of the most successful opening duos in Indian cricket. Dhawan shared a picture with the ‘Hitman’ and reminisced the times when the duo stitched many partnerships for India.

Shreyas Iyer, who has probably solved the No.4 conundrum of Team India with his blistering form with the bat, shared his video of training on the field ahead of India’s upcoming series. Steve Smith, who was previously the skipper of the Australian side, has been assigned the captaincy role again as he is set to lead Welsh Fire in ‘The Hundred’ this year. Meanwhile, former India pacer Sreesanth also shared a candid picture while enjoying with his family.

दिल्ली और देश के सभी मित्रों से विशेष आग्रह है कि शांति और सद्भाव बनाए रखने में पुलिस की मदद करें, भ्रामक तथ्यों पर आधारित भड़काऊ मैसेज आदि फैलाने से बचें। याद रहे, हम उस देश के नागरिक हैं जिसे युगों युगों तक दुनिया को शांति का संदेश दिया है।
