Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media today revolved around India’s superb performance in the fourth and final Test match against Australia. Cheteshwar Pujara was rock-solid as ever once again as his marathon knock ended on 193. Rishabh Pant also followed him and slammed a magnificent 159* while Ravindra Jadeja scored 81 which helped Team India post a mammoth total of 622 runs for the loss of seven wickets before Virat Kohli decided to declare their first innings.

A lot of former and current Indian cricketers tweeted for Pant and Pujara for their exceptional show. Their batting has all but ensured that India will win the series. Australia are in dire straits at the moment and have a mountain to climb in the first innings and it will be interesting to see how much they score in reply as the pitch is still a belter.

Meanwhile, Tim Paine was lauded for his sense of humour by many as he answered a reporter’s call during the press conference. The likes of Tabraiz Shamsi, Michael Vaughan and Deep Dasgupta expressed their views about the same.

Slithering downhill, fast, Paks chances in this test.. summation so far: at times unlucky with the ball and most times mighty bad with the bat!!!!

5. Manjrekar praises Mayank

While lauding Pant’s efforts with the bat, important to not forget the invaluable contribution of another young batsman, Mayank Agarwal.
Scores of 76,42 and 77 as opener in his 3 Test innings when the bowlers are fresh & raring to go. #AUSVIND

9. Gibbs analyses

Commentators analyzing the catch and the first slip. not mentioning that he’s not standing square on but facing inward and one foot further back than the other. No wonder he keeps reaching for the ball. #SAvsPAK
