October 19 Social Media Trends - Trending tweets, memes, news highlights, and more

Indian cricket fans were in for a double treat with the duo of Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant rescuing Team India with their thrilling knocks against New Zealand in the ongoing first Test played in Bengaluru. While the netizens seemed heartbroken after Pant missed out on a well-deserved century by a whisker, several former Indian legends with the likes of Sachin Tendulkar in particular, hailed Sarfaraz for his maiden Test century under pressure. Moreover, he also lauded Rachin Ravindra and how his roots led him to score a century in an interesting twist shaped by cricket.

Meanwhile, the social media domain remained quite chirpy on Saturday, October 19, with commentator Sanjay Manjrekar hailing Rishabh Pant as once in a once-in-a-generation kind of player. Besides, England's former skipper Michael Vaughan came up with a curious question after Team India's fightback in the Bengaluru Test against New Zealand.

Cricket has a way of connecting us to our roots. Rachin Ravindra seems to have a special connection with Bengaluru, where his family hails from! Another century to his name.

And Sarfaraz Khan, what an occasion to score your first Test century, when India needed it most!… pic.twitter.com/ER8IN5xFA5

I have always maintained Sarfraz shouldn't be kept out because of fitness. He doesn't have a gym body but can bat for hours. Cricket is a game that accomodates all. https://t.co/NBpC7ewpO3

India surely knows how to fight. Brilliant 💯 from Sarfraz khan 👏. Top 5 batters getting at least getting a start to put 🇮🇳 in fighting position.

Absolute delight for Sarfaraz Khan. Loved the way his teammates seemed to enjoy that first test century for him as much as he did. Never gave up and kept working.

Once in a generation player that’s what he is, Rishabh Pant!
And that six against Southee is one of the best shots I have seen in Test cricket. 😳 👏👏👏

Out of interest has any team won a Test match having been bowled out in the 1st innings for under 50 ?
