With today being somewhat of an off-day, Cricketing trends in Twitter today was a bit quiet with most of the tweets dwelling mostly into the private lives of the cricketers featured. This is also something that brought more of the people into the Twitter accounts of these players, to say the least. Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli took the day off with a bit of alone time to clear their heads.

It would have seemed as though the India skipper needed more of the cleansing given the fact that he had just led India to one of their worst defeats at home. Shane Warne bid farewell to India and was on his way to Los Angeles. Wayne Parnell’s ever growing wishlist eventually totalled one outrageous one while Parthiv Patel did battle with an unassuming dosa.

Darren Sammy became Arab for a day while Graeme Swann looked for soccer clothing online. That said, here are some of the best tweets in today’s edition of Cricketing trends in Twitter today.
