Cricket Buzz: Social media trends on July 22

It was a buzzing day in the cricketing world as Jonny Bairstow’s blistering knock completely changed the complexion of the game in the ongoing fourth Ashes Test. On the other hand, Virat Kohli finally managed to score a Test century away from home after a long wait of more than four years. Former players like Mohammad Kaif lauded him while Dinesh Karthik appreciated Bairstow's special innings.

Meanwhile, Shoaib Akhtar criticised ICC's media team for not including Pakistan and Babar Azam in the ODI World Cup promo video.

Whoever thought that World Cup promo will be complete without Pakistan & Babar Azam's significant presence, has actually presented himself as a joke.
Come on guys, time to grow up a bit.

Congratulations boys what a game! Great come back. Nishanth Sindhu’s five-fer and Manav Suthar’s 3 wickets helped India A to win this one. Yash Dhull’s matured knock and Nikin Jose’s 4 catches were outstanding 👏👏 #TeamIndia #INDAvBANA #ACCMensEmergingTeamsAsiaCup pic.twitter.com/g2vFXe348d
