Cricketing trends on social media today

The Mumbai Indians coasted to a 7-wicket victory over the Rajasthan Royals (RR) side on 29th April 2021. Chasing a target of 172, the Rohit Sharma led side got to the finish line with 7 wickets and 9 balls to spare. And, several cricketers have expressed their opinion on the clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals.

RP Singh feels that Rajasthan’s decision to send Shivam Dube ahead of David Miller might have proved to be costly, whereas Mumbai Indians’ (MI) cricketer Suryakumar Yadav is delighted after the ‘Men in Blue’ have got back to winning ways. The likes of Krunal Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah are elated with Mumbai’s victory as well.

Sri Lankan captain Dimuth Karunaratne went past the 5000-run mark in Test match cricket today, and a number of Sri Lankan cricketers have congratulated him for his feat. And finally, Brad Hogg has opined that the way the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) outfit utilized Rashid Khan might have cost them the match against the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) side.

2. RP Singh opines on the decision taken by RR that cost them the match

Can we say that #RajasthanRoyals' decision to send Shivam ahead of Miller was costly? It was an odd decision. Can understand that Sanju is inexperienced but Sanga is also in dug out.

12. Brad Hogg offers his opinion on the way the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) side used Rashid Khan

Use of Rashid probably cost the @SunRisers last night, could of been a little more aggressive with field placements in his first over, especially when they needed the win to get off the bottom of the ladder #SRHvCSK #IPL2021

— Brad Hogg (@Brad_Hogg) April 29, 2021

13. Brad Hogg feels that Ruturaj Gaikwad has made a massive difference for CSK

Gaikwad batting stepping has been the difference for CSK this year, taking a bit of pressure off the more senior batters. #IPL2021 #CSK
