Cricketing Trends on Social Media today
Here's what the fraternity was up to on social media.

The cricketing trends on social media today revolved around Kuldeep Yadav registering five-wicket haul against Australia in Sydney. Team India also created history by becoming the first team to enforce a follow-on on Australia at home since 1988. Though many lauded the chinaman bowler for his exceptional spell as he returned with the figures of 5/99 in Sydney as the ball also turned a fair bit.
Aakash Chopra was excited about the fact that India will be creating history in the next few hours as regardless of the result of the fourth Test, they will win the series by 2-1 at least. Kapil Dev was celebrating his birthday today and a lot of Indian cricketers wished the World Cup-winning captain of India.
Moreover, the former South African cricketers praised Faf du Plessis for leading the Proteas to a series win over Pakistan with one Test still to go. The skipper though has been suspended for the last Test by the ICC thanks to the slow over-rate offence from the home team.
1. Chopra excited
This is a SPECIAL Team India.
History only a few hours away for this young unit. I strongly believe this side will go very far.
