The second wave of COVID-19 shook India and other parts of the world in unimaginable ways and different people stepped up to donate for the noble cause. When the medical infrastructure and kits needed the utmost help, Australia’s ace bowler Pat Cummins stepped up to add to the cause and tweeted about his donation to India.

In the same light of events, his tweet has become the most retweeted tweet in India for the year 2021. It was during the same events when COVID-19 halted the 1st phase of IPL 2021 and various cricketers marked their contribution but Cummins’ initiatives were the first one from the cricketing world.

The report which marked his tweet as the most retweeted one also studied the most used hashtags for one year period in India and it was a no-brainer that COVID-19 topped the chart.

Covid19, #FarmersProtest, #TeamIndia, #Tokyo2020, #IPL2021, #IndVEng, #Diwali, #Master (movie), #Bitcoin, and #PermissionToDance (song by South Korean boy band BTS) became the most used hashtags on Twitter during the year according to Twitter’s ‘#OnlyOnTwitter: Golden Tweets of 2021’ report.

“As the second COVID-19 wave hit India, people from across the world came forward to support the country. Among them was Australian cricketer Pat Cummins, who made a donation towards COVID relief in India, and took to Twitter to encourage others to do the same. The generosity of the Tweet received gratitude from people all over the country, making this the most Retweeted Tweet in India in 2021,” Twitter said.
