Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup is gathering a lot of buzz and today, South Africa Women tumped Thailand in the eleventh match of the tournament. A dominant South African batting force exhibited their class as opener Lizelle Lee etched her name into the history books by smashing a sublime ton against Thailand. England Women also showcased a ruthless performance against Pakistan to clinch their second victory of the tournament. South Africa cricketer Tabraiz Shamsi also extended wishes to Proteas Women squad for their triumph.

Rahul Dravid is regarded as one of the most eminent faces of Indian cricket. India opener Shikhar Dhawan hogged a lot of attention by posting a picture with Dravid with the caption– ‘Men in Black.’

Meanwhile, India have suffered a huge blow as their ace pacer Ishant Sharma is set to miss the Test match due to an injured right ankle. Ishant was the only positive for India in the first Test as he scalped five wickets in the first innings to leave his mark in the game.

Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra also reacted to the pacer’s injury news on Twitter. Virat Kohli and his troops will be aiming to level the series after suffering a comprehensive defeat against the Kiwis in the first Test.

India’s spin-bowling stalwart also posted a picture at Chinnaswamy Stadium and captioned it– ‘Home’. Chahal will be seen donning the Royal Challengers Bangalore jersey in the upcoming edition of Indian Premier League.

2. Mohammad Kaif expects a strong comeback in the second Test

Contrasting fortunes for both teams heading into the Christchurch Test. New Zealand may play all pacers with Wagner back. India have been jolted with the in-form Ishant out!

Would be a test of character for the Indian team who are used to making strong comebacks.#NZvIND
