The cricketing trends on social media today was more around the Global T20 Canda League. Players like former Australian captain Steve Smith, David Warner and Darren Sammy who are extremely active on social media are a part of the tournament. It got underway yesterday in Toronto and the first match was an exciting contest as the team batting second chased down a massive total with unrealistic ease.

Murali Karthik has flown to London ahead of Team India’s tour of England and clicked a picture from the aircraft to give people a sky view of the city that he calls his favourite. Indian cricketers Harbhajan Singh, Ajay Ratra and Mohammad Kaif shared interesting stories as well. All that and a lot more on the cricketing trends of the day.

1. Steve Smith was back on the field in the Global T20 Canada League.

It was great being back on the field yesterday and helping Toronto to a first up win. Thanks everyone for your support it’s really appreciated. Looking forward to the rest of the tournament! @gt20canada @cricketcanada2018

8. Murali Karthik shares the sky view from over the river Thames in London.

Am not a massive Window seat person, but when u land into one of your favorite cities, a city where u have lived so many years,have driven the lanes and walked the corners then u definitely want to be in the best position to view landmarks from a different height.. #towerbridge #shard #thegherkin #thames glistening in the evening sun and am glad that landing was slightly delayed and we kept circling the same spots😊😊
