Right. It is that time of the day where we delve into the activities of the cricketers on social media. In the modern era, social media is such a powerful tool for celebrities to express themselves to the world about several issues in the country.

West Indian legend Sir Viv Richards is celebrating his 69th birthday, and wishes have been pouring in from all parts of the world for the batting maestro. Right from Sachin Tendulkar to Virat Kohli, the biggest names in the world of cricket offered their wishes to Richards.

On the other hand, Kevin Pietersen is gearing up for the England Legends’ encounter against the Bangladesh Legends and Tino Best indulged himself in a game of carrom.

The schedule for the 2021 edition of the IPL is out, and VVS Laxman is excited about the same. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant has earned some well-deserved rest after his heroics with the willow in India’s Test series victory over England. Rohan Gavaskar is in awe of a picturesque straight drive that the legendary Sachin Tendulkar played during a practice session and Lisa Sthalekar is happy that the women are back on the cricketing field. Suresh Raina has taken time out to wish iconic actor Anupam Kher on his birthday while Subramaniam Badrinath caught up with the likes of Yuvraj Singh and Kevin Pietersen.
