Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on the social media revolved around a number of events. The Supreme Court delivered a verdict on the infamous ‘Nirbhaya’ case and the court upheld the death sentence meted out to the wrongdoers. Prior to the verdict, Virender Sehwag created a poll on Twitter asking for people’s opinion on the matter. Gautam Gambhir believes that the chances of such an incident taking place again can’t be ruled out.

Kuldeep Yadav featured in a show ‘What the Duck’ hosted by renowned comedian Vikram Sathaye. Former cricketer Amol Muzumdar was unhappy with the infrastructure in Mumbai and he posted a video of the same. Kevin Pietersen posted a picture where he was seen having champagne and taking a copper bath. Aaron Finch uploaded a picture with a giraffe in Zimbabwe. RP Singh accepted the ‘KitUp’ challenge and posted a video.

Rohit Sharma dedicated his yesterday’s century to Sudan, the world’s last male northern rhinoceros, who died at the age of 45 in Kenya back in March. Chris Jordan was disappointed after England lost the series but wanted to move ahead and learn from their mistakes. Cheteshwar Pujara was busy playing some badminton. Shoaib Akhtar slammed Glenn Maxwell for not shaking hands with Sarfraz Ahmed.

12. Gautam Gambhir’s concern for women

Before we go chest-thumping mode on today's #NirbhayaVerdict lets look at lack of safety measures for women. Have we learnt our lessons? Perhaps no. CCTV cameras? No. Increase of lady cops in police stations? No. Looks like we are waiting for another #NirbhayaCase!!!

13. Shoaib Akhtar slams Glenn Maxwell

Not shaking hands with Pak captain after winning the series its not a great example set by Glen Maxwell plus kids are watching his behaviour & looking up to him. Now-he should apologise to Pak team & Sarfraz ..
