Cricketing Trends on Social Media today
Here's how the cricketing fraternity spent their day on social media.

The cricketing trends in social media today saw the cricketers from all over the world interact with their followers across platforms. The fraternity was busy spreading the awareness among the people about the Kerala relief efforts. God’s own Country is struggling due to torrential rains and floods all over the State. Sanju Samson donated the whopping amount of Rs 15 Lakhs to the CM Relief Fund on Friday even as the other cricketers kept their followers updated about the helplines.
Rashid Khan will end his T20 Blast stint with Sussex today with a game against Middlesex. He was instrumental in their success and would love to sign off in style with a sensational bowling spell. The team, however, needs to win their last league game in order to qualify for the quarterfinals and it will be interesting how they cope up without him in case they qualify for the knockout stages. They are currently fourth in the South Group and should be able to go through.
Pakistan cricketers congratulated Imran Khan as he took oath as the Prime Minister of Pakistan officially today. Ross Taylor was delighted to win the games in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) while playing for Jamaica Tallawahs. They will play a few of their games now in Florida and he was hoping to turn it around. There was also a sense of excitement around the Trent Bridge Test between India and England which will commence on Saturday as the visitors will be keen to win it.
1. Stay strong, says Kohli to Kerala people
Everyone in Kerala, please be safe and stay indoors as much as you can. Hope the situation recovers soon. Also, thanking the Indian army and NDRF for their incredible support in this critical condition. Stay strong and stay safe.

कुछ श्रद्धांजलि इनको भी, कुछ नम आँखें इधर भी। चिता पर लेटा इनका बेटा था, इरादा तो उसका भी अटल था, लाल किले पर नहीं तिरंगा उस ने Kargil में फहराया था। Honoured to have met Colonel V.N. Thapar father of Captain Vijyant Thapar, a Kargil martyr. Tks @LifeCoachSharat @FeverFMOfficial pic.twitter.com/pLLqU3bTVu

15. Mahela isn’t happy
Very tough to understand the policy…this is what happens when national selectors select provincial teams. That’s why you need provincial selectors on a different structure. You need experience players for the youngsters to learn. https://t.co/sgqLgPGosN
