The cricketing trends on social media today revolved around the Indian cricket team, Ireland as well as the victorious England cricket team. India and England won their respective T20I matches against Ireland and Australia. While the first result was pretty much on expected lines, the Aussies couldn’t change their fortunes with the change in format and went back home without a single win on the tour.

Indian players – the likes of Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah enjoyed the day off before they take the field again for the 2nd T20I. Suresh Raina and Hardik Pandya along with the team’s trainer Mr Basu chose to hit the gym. Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi and Australian cricketer Chris Lynn shared a message in public interest. Sachin Tendulkar took part in the fitness challenge proposed by the Sports Minister. All that and more in the cricketing trends of the day.
