The cricketing trends on social media today like every other day revolved around the Indian Premier League (IPL) which has set the stage on fire with thrilling matches. Rohit Sharma was feeling humbled and grateful after receiving birthday wishes from all his fans and the corners of the cricketing world on Monday. He turned 31 years old on Monday and is currently in Bangalore preparing himself for the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).
Wayne Parnell was feeling lucky after spending his whole life in Cape Town and felt the city is incredible. Anjum Chopra was speculating over the greenish track on offer for the game between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Daredevils (DD) at MCA International Stadium in Pune. Ajinkya Rahane wished Rohit Sharma on his birthday and felt that his scoring rate accelerates even faster than the bullet trains. Both share a special bonding as they have shared the same dressing room for a long time.
Gautam Gambhir urged his Delhi Daredevils fans to cheer for his team while they were playing Pune against CSK in their new den. Gambhir dropped himself from the playing XI after a string of poor and low scores in the first 6 matches of the IPL. He also stepped down from the captaincy position and offered to play for Delhi for free. Stephen Fleming was in awe of the fans of Dhoni as they were cheering for him behind the team bus in Pune when they were reaching the Stadium.
1. Viru impressed with CSK innings
Wonderful hitting from Mahi and Watson. Only way Delhi can get anywhere close is if Munro or Maxwell mein Mata aa jaayein.#CSKvDD

This I can assure you is so far from the truth. Heath is involved in the IPL and has minimal contact with the players. I'm not sure where you get your facts from? pic.twitter.com/YwIXzV3zN1
