Cricketing Trends on social media today

The coronavirus continues to wreak havoc in the lives of Indian cricketing legends. After Sachin Tendulkar and Yusuf Pathan, the latest Indian cricketer who has tested positive for Covid-19 is Subramaniam Badrinath. All these three players were recently involved in the Road Safety World Series tournament.

Meanwhile, we are less than 2 weeks away from the 14th edition of the much-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL), and Rashid Khan has joined the Sun Risers Hyderabad (SRH) squad. Also, Virat Kohli lost his third consecutive toss in the ODI series against England, and Ravichandran Ashwin and Wasim Jaffer have lent their thoughts regarding the same.

Irfan Pathan has opined on how bowlers can survive on the Pune wicket. Today is also the occasion of the festival of colors, Holi and Suresh Raina is celebrating the festival in a wonderful way. Aakash Chopra has received a WhatsApp message and he has posted the same on Twitter.

India and England played out a thrilling final ODI at Pune. And, even though the Indian side lost 4 quick wickets after Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put on a century partnership, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya steadied the ship by forging a belligerent 99 run partnership. Sam Curran almost scared India with his brilliant 95* to take England close to the target.

And, Sanjay Manjrekar has offered his opinion on the new India. Today also marks the 13th anniversary of Virender Sehwag’s 319 against South Africa in Chennai, and Sehwag has tweeted about the same. Shall we undertake the social media sojourn?

5. Irfan Pathan offers his opinion on how bowlers can survive on the Pune pitch

Bowlers to survive at this Pune wicket will need to vary the pace from time to time.Variation doesn’t mean bowling slower deliveries but deliveries like realising the ball N Some hitting the deck hard with seam up or cross seam around 8 meter length in the stumps zone. #INDvsENG
