Cricketing Trends on Social Media Today

The cricketing trends on Thursday mostly revolved around Vidarbha’s win in the Ranji Trophy. The former and current cricketers congratulated the team for defending the title. Right from Sachin Tendulkar to Ravichandran Ashwin, everyone praised the team for their efforts. Also, Pakistan ended the South Africa tour on a high with a win in the third T20I.

The players were in awe of Shadab Khan’s performance in the game and flooded him with special messages. Sarfaraz Ahmed, who was banned due to the racist comments, also tweeted for the team. On the other hand, Shahid Afridi seemed to have liked DJ Bravo’s new song dedicated to Asia.

He hoped that this song gets just as popular as ‘Champion’. Ajinkya Rahane shared more pictures from his trip to Jordan on the micro-blogging site while Dale Steyn saw the funny side of things during his layover at an airport.
