Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends today on social media revolved around a number of events. New Year’s wishes galored across all social media platforms with many cricketing personalities welcoming 2020 with eagerness. BCCI and Team India’s head coach Ravi Shastri extended the New Year’s wishes on Twitter. Shastri also reminisced the milestone which Virat Kohli and his troops conquered in 2019.

Meanwhile, Indian skipper Virat Kohli shared his picture with a heartwarming caption- hailing his better half Anushka Sharma for being the best photographer. Former Indian pacer RP Singh heaped praise on speedster Jasprit Bumrah by acknowledging him as the world’s top Test bowler. Singh also mentioned that no other bowler apart from Kapil Dev has improved in such a short span of time. Sanju Samson, who did not get the opportunity to show his calibre in the Indian jersey in 2019, shared his experience as 2019 draws to a close.

Pakistan’s stalwart Babar Azam shared the victory celebrations as Central Punjab clinched the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy- the prime domestic tournament of Pakistan. Former India opener Virender Sehwag, who is known for his witty tweets and quirky one-liners, shared a throwback video of himself smacking a maximum while singing a song.

One Indian player who is known for admiration towards Salman Khan is Kedar Jadhav. It is not a secret that the Indian all-rounder tries to replicate Salman Khan in his photos. Kedar Jadhav shared a picture with the Bollywood star, who turned 54 on December 27. Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra also shared his opinion about the best batsman, bowler, wicketkeeper and all-rounder of the decade.

4. RP Singh hails Jasprit Bumrah

Find of the decade for me is @Jaspritbumrah93 . Someone who was seen as merely a t20 bowler has become world's top test bowler. No Indian fast bowler since Kapil paaji has improved so much in such a short time. #lastdayof2019 #TuesdayThoughts pic.twitter.com/HiPxSg6pJu
