Cricketing trends on social media today

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) side decimated the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by a margin of 38 runs to extend their impressive run in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). And, social media has gone gaga over the stunning exploits of AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell with the willow.

The likes of Virender Sehwag, Vinod Kambli, and Kris Srikanth have expressed their amazement at the scintillating display from the duo of AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell. Meanwhile, Michael Vaughan feels that the RCB side has the most balanced squad in the IPL this year.

Vinod Kambli feels that it was a good tactic by KKR skipper Eoin Morgan to operate with spin early on in the RCB innings. Also, former Indian cricketer, Hemang Badani wonders why Varun Chakravarthy was taken off the bowling attack by KKR. Today also marks the 29th birthday of Indian cricketer KL Rahul and Wridhimann Saha has wished the Punjab Kings’ (PBKS) skipper regarding the same. And finally, Rajasthan Royals’ pacer Mustafizur Rahman is gearing up for the clash between RR and CSK on 19th April 2021.
