Cricketing trends in Twitter today

Cricketing trends in Twitter saw tweets coming in from different parts of the world. While former Sri-Lankan all-rounder Russell Arnold was enjoying his time in South Africa, Team India’s new captain across all formats Virat Kohli was busy promoting a mobile phone brand. While Steve Smith enjoyed his time with the commentary crew of BBL, Irfan Pathan expressed his grief at the alleged mass molestation in Bengaluru on New Year’s eve.

Former Aussie player Tom Moody lauded opener Aaron Finch for scoring a fluent half-century in a BBL match, India’s spin-ace Ravichandran Ashwin expressed his views on a tradition in Tamil Nadu “jallikattu”.
