Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. Today, New Zealand defeated Team India in the 2nd ODI of the three-match series due to which the visitors’ had to suffer their first series defeat across all the formats after the conclusion of 2019 World Cup. BlackCaps posted a competitive total of 273 runs for a loss of eight wickets. Martin Guptill (79) and Ross Taylor (73) played vital knocks for their team.

Coming onto the chase, the Men in Blue failed to play their 50 overs and they were dismissed at a score of 251 in 48.3 overs. Indian batting failed to compile good runs with the bat in the crucial game. Only Shreyas Iyer (51), and Ravindra Jadeja (55) managed to score the fifties. Meanwhile, Navdeep Saini managed to play a cameo of 45 runs but his amazing effort went in vain as India lost the game by 22 runs.

Many cricket veterans and fans lauded New Zealand’s valiant effort to clinch the ODI series after suffering a thumping 0-5 defeat in the T20I series. Virender Sehwag lauded the efforts of Ravindra Jadeja and tagged Ross Taylor as ‘The Boss’ for his match-winning knock in both the ODIs.
