The cricket fraternity was once again quite active on social media, talking and discussing the various ongoings in the world of cricket. Many former and current stars like Angelo Mathews, Anil Kumble, Robin Uthappa, and many more came forward to laud veteran Australian spinner Nathan Lyon after he completed 500 Test wickets.
Meanwhile, in another notable top trend of the day, many took to their social media to heap praises on debutant Sai Sudharsan for his magnificent performance against South Africa in the first ODI. Regarding Sudharsan, ace India spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin caught everyone’s eye as he had predicted the young batter to come up well in the past and hoped that he will make it big. Interestingly enough, the batter played an impressive knock on his debut for India against South Africa.
Here are top social media trends of the day:

Like Mozhi MS Bhaskar ( movie reference ), I have been repeatedly telling this about Sai Sudharsan.
‘Mark my words, this boy will go places’
Ever since his 2021 TNPL debut, he hasn’t looked back.

Seen enough evidence of late in 50 years cricket. If you have a choice between a T20 batter & a Test batter, pick the Test batter for 50 overs cricket.
