Irfan Pathan raised concerns over India’s Asia Cup squad as he advocated for Yuzvendra Chahal’s inclusion in India’s squad, thereby highlighting the need for a strong bowling lineup. Post his exclusion, Chahal came up with a cryptic post in the form of a sunlit emoji to show his hopeful side.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli offered a candid glimpse into his day with a picture. The former South African cricketer, Herschelle Gibbs, kicked off the week with motivation while the legendary former India opener, Virender Sehwag, playfully talked about the rarity of finding both good tea and sound advice. Besides, the former Indian swing master, Irfan Pathan, praised Jasprit Bumrah for his smart leadership tactics. In another notable trend, former South Africa legend, AB de Villiers, shared his admiration for the tennis legend, Novak Djokovic.

Check out all the top social media trends of the day here:

Worry for selectors that Bumrah and Prasidh coming back from long lay off. That’s one of the two reason you will see India team playing with an extra bowler who can bat. I would have chahal in my squad. What do you guys think? #AsiaCup

So impressed with Rinku Singh , wonderfully fleet footed in the field and so powerful with bat in hand. What a super talent 👏👏👏
