The cricketing trends on social media today revolved around Pakistan and India. It was result day after the general elections in Pakistan and as it was predicted former cricketer Imran Khan’s party PTI won the most number of seats. Though they didn’t touch the magic figure of 137 it is expected that with support from other candidates Imran will take oath as the next Prime Minister of the country. Most Pakistani cricketers posted messages to congratulate the World Cup-winning captain on the occasions.
England named their 13-man squad for the first Test match against India and Adil Rashid was included in the squad which wasn’t taken well by someone like Michael Vaughan. On the Indian side, it was Kargil Vijay Divas and a lot of Indian cricketers took the opportunity to salute the martyrs and all those who fought in the war. All that and more in the cricketing trends of the day.

2. Irfan Pathan posted a beautiful quote from Hazrat Ali which roughly translates to ‘don’t blame your luck for your mistakes, as luck depends on your own bravery’
अपनी गलती से खुद की तकदीर को बदनाम मत करो . क्यों की तक़दीर खुद हिम्मत की मोहताज होती है 🌹 हज़रत अली 🌹

10. Umar Gul thinks Pakistan has voted for change by giving Imran Khan the most seats
Glad the #elections2018 went well and the people have given a verdict for change. @ImranKhanPTI has been a force since he won us the World Cup and his struggle of so many years is shining today. We pray he fulfils his promises and makes Pakistan prosper inshaAllah @PTIofficial
