The cricketing trends on social media today revolved around various events as cricketers spent time through their official handles. India and Australia are set to play in the second of the three-match ODI series on Sunday. The hosts won the series opener by 66 runs. They were exceptional with the bat with Aaron Finch and Steve Smith scoring centuries. India lacked the sixth bowling option desperately and the buzz was around that itself.

Former India cricketers Mohammad Kaif and Aakash Chopra were involved in a conversation over the same issue. Kaif felt sorry for India skipper Virat Kohli as he had no option but to go with five bowlers with no player of such skill in the squad. Michael Vaughan, however, already predicted Australia’s win looking at India’s poor show in the first game.

Meanwhile, Sydney Thunder defeated the favourites Melbourne Stars in the final of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). The Rachel Haynes-led side thumped the Stars in the final to win the title and the cricketing fraternity was all praise of the team.

1. Mohammad Kaif feels for India skipper Virat Kohli over lack of sixth bowling option

No amount of chopping or changing will give Virat Kolhi the sixth bowling option on this tour. A pace bowling all-rounder who doesn't bowl, a long tail, no part-time bowler in top order or on the bench. Feel for the captain. The selectors missed a trick I think #AusvInd

3. Aakash Chopra get involved in a conversation ahead of AUS vs IND 2nd ODI

Who could they have picked, partner? Shankar? Dube? Someone who could bat in top 6 and bowl. How many in India have those skills for 50-over cricket? https://t.co/gQe44POwil

9. Michael Vaughan lauds Jonny Bairstow for his match-winning knock

The best way to describe & praise @jbairstow21 innings is it to say it was a @josbuttler style genius innings … Bairstow doesn’t get the praise in white ball cricket he deserves … #SAvENG
