Cricketing Trends on Social Media today

The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. Mumbai’s Sarfaraz Khan hit his maiden triple ton against Uttar Pradesh. Sarfaraz became the seventh Mumbai player to score a triple ton in Ranji Trophy. Wishes poured in for the youngster for his heroics in the Ranji Trophy 2019-20. Shreyas Iyer, who has cemented his spot in the Indian side, also lauded Sarfaraz’s knock and Mumbai’s batting display.

Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh also hailed Jalaj Saxena for his consistent all-round performances in the Ranji Trophy. Saxena is regarded as one of the best all-rounders across the domestic circuit. Melbourne Stars, who have delivered impressive performances this season in the Big Bash League, had to suffer a defeat against Adelaide Strikers. Veteran Shane Warne was critical of Stars’ performance and opined that the Glenn Maxwell-led side should get back to the basics.

Team India’s stalwart Rohit Sharma extended wishes to India’s U19 team, who are aiming to defend their World Cup title in South Africa. India are set to lock horns with New Zealand in five-match T20I series starting from January 24. Ahead of the first T20I, India’s speedster Jasprit Bumrah shared a picture while exploring Auckland.

Skipper Virat Kohli also shared a picture from Auckland featuring Ravindra Jadeja, Manish Pandey and KL Rahul. With Shikhar Dhawan being ruled out due to injury, it will be interesting to see the role of KL Rahul in the southpaw’s absence. Twitter was also flooded with wishes for Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews, who smashed his maiden double century against Zimbabwe at Harare.
