Today’s edition of cricketing trends started off with Royal Challengers Bangalore captain wishing his teammate AB de Villiers on his 33rd birthday. Sri Lanka defeated Australia in a nerve-wracking thriller at the MCG to go 1-0 up in the three-match T20I series. While Russell Arnold was enjoying his time in the commentary box, Sanath Jayasuriya also lauded the boys for their exceptional victory against Australia.

While former Aussie opener Matthew Hayden was exploring above the Kings Canyon along with his family, Ajinkya Rahane shared a childhood picture of himself wearing the cricketing attire and going out to bat. While De Villiers thanked everyone for their warm wishes on his birthday, former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin expressed his gratitude to Pathways School in Noida for inviting him as a chief guest on their Annual Sports Day.

That said here are some of the best tweets from today’s edition of cricketing trends
