Cricketing Trends on Social Media Today
Here's how the cricketers spent their day on social media platforms.
Many overseas stars have touched base with their teams after completing Caribbean Premier League engagements. After leading Trinbago Knight Riders to victory in the final against St Lucia Zouks, Kieron Pollard and his family also joined Mumbai Indians camp in Abu Dhabi. Along with Pollard, West Indian Sherfane Rutherford has also joined the ‘Mumbai Paltan’.
Mumbai Indians also shared a picture of both the Caribbean stars upon their arrival. Defending champions MI will kick-off their IPL 2020 campaign by locking horns with Chennai Super Kings in the season-opener. All franchises are currently sweating it out in training sessions before the start of the T20 extravaganza.
Ali Khan also hogged the headlines after becoming the first cricketer from the USA to be featured in the IPL. 29-year-old Khan was roped in by Kolkata Knight Riders as a replacement for Harry Gurney.
In a first, the cash-rich league will be without the presence of spectators. The pandemic has forced everyone to watch IPL 2020 through their television sets and the franchises are doing their best to keep fans engaged amid the pandemic. To notch up the excitement levels of supporters, all IPL sides have been pretty active on social media. They’ve been sharing several training clips and hilarious moments to keep fans engaged.
Meanwhile, many cricketers expressed grief over the demise of Waqar Younis’ father. Mohammad Younis, father of national cricket team bowling coach Younis passed away due to a long illness. Pakistan Cricket Board and many players mourned the death.
