The cricketing trends in Twitter today saw the cricketers tweet from all over the world. As expected, it was the IPL that caught the attention of most people on the day. There were two close games on the cards today. Kolkata Knight Riders beat the Delhi Daredevils in last over thriller at Delhi. The Sunrisers Hyderabad also notched up a close last over win against the Kings XI Punjab at Hyderabad.

Darren Sammy exhibits his father displayed affection to his wife on her birthday. Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan displayed their brotherly love for each other after his match-defining knock against the Daredevils. Ben Stokes seemed elated after he was mentioned on a post. Michael Clarke provided one and all with the inside view behind the scenes, where the magic happens.

Former English batsman highlighted the cons of a spinner bowling the ultimate over. Isa Guha was impressed with exploits of Manish Pandey and Rishabh Pant with the bat. While Brett Lee had a ball with Kapil Dev in the studios, David Miller and Tom Moody seemed all geared up for the contest at Hyderabad.

The turbanator Harbhajan Singh posted a selfie with his better half Geeta Basra and John Abraham. Lisa Sthalekear stated her affections for Pallavi Sharada while Virender Sehwag wished the spin king Muralitharan in his own cheeky way. Kiwi Pacer Mitchell McClenaghan was still amped after their victory at Bangalore.
