The cricketing trends on social media today saw the cricketers from all over the world interact with their followers across platforms. It was the birthday of Protean stalwart Jacques Kallis which caught the centre stage across the feeds of prominent cricketers on social media. Harbhajan Singh, Sachin Tendulkar, Robin Uthappa and many others wished the former South African all-rounder.

The other points of interest Pakistan taking on Sri Lanka and Bangladesh locking horns with South Africa in which David Miller celebrated his 100th ODI for the country. Miller also lauded the efforts of Amla, De Kock and Rabada which helped the home side overhaul the Bangladeshis with utmost ease. Ian Bishop and Russel Arnold congratulated Babar Azam for his 7th ODI ton.

Meanwhile, Suresh Raina continued to display his struggle for gaining perfect fitness and Umar Gul seemed disappointed with traffic at Karachi. Rohit Sharma almost accomplished the crossbar challenge while Virat Kohli seemed elated to spend some time with Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan. Bishan Singh Bedi and Herschelle Gibbs were in a thoughtful mood up front while Sachin Tendulkar made the Twitterati aware of the fact that his children were not on Twitter. That said, let us go through the cricketing trends in social media today.
