Cricketing Trends on Social Media Today

Some of the cricketing trends on Sunday revolved around the second T20I between India and West Indies. Kevin Pietersen put forward a couple of thoughts. The first one was about the third umpire calling the tough wide calls while the other was about implementing the changes with the no-ball calls and match timings in the IPL. Meanwhile, Aakash Chopra was astounded to see the kind of reception Sanju Samson got in Thiruvananthapuram.

The other trends were about the Brisbane Heat winning the WBBL. AB de Villiers and Danielle Wyatt congratulated the team for the victory. Mohammad Nabi shared a selfie with his Afghanistan mates before he departed for the BPL. Gautam Gambhir tweeted that he was saddened by the tragic fire accident in Anaaj Mandi, Delhi.

1. Do you think the third umpire should call the tight wides as well? Kevin Pietersen thinks so…

If the 3rd umpire is judging no balls now, he should also call the tight on the line wides.

2. Aakash Chopra is astounded to see the kind of reception that Sanju Samson got in his hometown in Thiruvananthapuram

Incredible. Rarely see this kind of reception for someone who isn’t named Dhoni, Tendulkar or Kohli. https://t.co/bEaZrcxHSD

3. Deep Dasgupta liked the call of the Indian management to send Shivam Dube at number three

Shivam Dube @ 3 in the given situation, like the call irrespective of how it pans out #INDvWI

4. Kevin Pietersen wants to see the new changes implemented in the IPL as well

• Starting a T20 game here in India at 7pm is a BRILLIANT decision.
• The 3rd umpire controlling front foot no balls, another BRILLIANT decision.

Hopefully @IPL will have both?
