While pacer Siddharth Kaul encouraged perseverance.

Speaking of other notable top trends, the former Pakistan bowling legend, Wasim Akram, shared his gym workout pictures on a hilarious note as a frustrated fan of the national team post-loss to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 clash. While, India Women legend, Mithali Raj thanked Pranav Adani for supporting women's cricket. Former Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz acknowledged a close game. Apart from him the West Indies commentator and former pacer Ian Bishop appreciated the Premadasa stadium crowd.

Here are the top social media trends of the day:

Absolutely! Just 🔥
He missed the ball, Asalanka was charging down the pitch ( high octane pressure ) and yet this guy stood his ground until the keeper missed his attempt and then started running.

All I can say is that these sort of reactions come from practice and this happens… https://t.co/elfwihpBSG

Playing finals against Sri Lanka will be better for team India as it won’t be a one sided affair.

Great game awareness from Pramod Madushan yesterday night. Did not leave the crease until Asalanka made it. Very impressive. @ashwinravi99 probably one of the finest at making good use of the rules would be v impressed . pic.twitter.com/5XxCbyVZXg

Congratulations @dasunshanaka1 & co
We entered the 12th grand finals in the Asia Cup. What a game, what a thriller. What a finish, if we can play our brand of Cricket (the same way which we played) for sure we can win the finals against mighty @BCCI Indian team.What do you think? pic.twitter.com/ObKLuDp6e4

Good effort boys, a bit unlucky at the end but that’s what cricket is all about. The good thing is our bowlers gave their best on a wicket like this and took the game this close. Congratulations to @OfficialSLC on reaching the finals 👍🏼

Proud of my team! 🇵🇰#PAKvSL #AsiaCup2023

Still can’t get over that crowd at the Premadasa stadium yesterday for the SL vs PAL clash. Sri Lankans are amongst some of the friendliest and beautiful people I’ve encountered. Love how the subcontinent backs their teams.
