Cricketing trends in Twitter today

Cricketing trends in Twitter today began with Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan’s children pony-riding on a family vacation. Mitchell McClenaghan, the Kiwi who turned 30 today celebrated his birthday in perhaps one of the unique ways. Harbhajan Singh kept his hopes high for the upcoming Rio 2016 Olympics as he named Leander Paes as his hope for the games. Parthiv Patel turned up his volume to listen to some words of advice while Ajinkya Rahane wished the boys luck ahead of their first ODI against the Zimbabweans at Harare. Kumar Sangakkara remained to be stuck with his DRS issues while Dean Jones had a compelling question for his Indian followers on Twitter. That said, here are the best tweets of the day in this edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today.

5. The DRS system certainly has Sanga stirred up

Reducing the margin to 25% without taking away the Umpire's call makes no difference. It's not the margin that matters bt the umpire's call
