Top 10 cricketing tweets of the year

As every year passes by, social media continues to grow bigger and better, just like the game of cricket. Without social media, there is hardly anything and even the cricketers spend quite some time on it. Be it debates, compliments, best wishes, disappointments or anything else, social media has it all.

There is a lot that happened on the field this year. The World Cup final, the Leeds Test in the Ashes, another Super Over between England and New Zealand, the heist from Kusal Perera and many more. All of these receive special mentions on Twitter. Also, year after year, there are some tweets that are special. They are remembered for a long time.

Here are the top 10 cricketing tweets of the year:

1. Virat Kohli’s goes nostalgic

Virat Kohli is pretty active on social media. He often promotes the brands he’s tied up with and also, likes posting pictures of himself, with his wife Anushka Sharma and a few others as well. However, he decided to go nostalgic in September.

The Indian captain posted a picture with MS Dhoni. It was one from India’s win over Australia in the World T20 2016. Kohli’s knock of 82 had helped India pull off a fabulous win and Dhoni had played second fiddle in that game. The duo ran super hard between the wickets and that made the difference as well.

Kohli put up the picture and captioned it, “A game I can never forget. Special night. This man, made me run like in a fitness test”. That went absolutely viral. In fact, people even speculated Dhoni’s retirement.
