The cricketing trends on social media revolved around a number of events. Today, Mandeep Singh, the young Indian cricketer smashed a brilliant double century. His brilliant innings also helped Punjab in registering an emphatic win against Hyderabad. Dinesh Chandimal, the Sri Lankan played a brilliant knock of 74 runs in pressure conditions against Pakistan. Dhammika Prasad also applauded his teammate for his brilliant innings in the 2nd Test on Day 2.

On the 19th of December, all the eight franchises lavishly spend money in the IPL 2020 auction held in Kolkata. However, afterwards, Abhishek Nayar, mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders looked quite happy to get their first-choice players. They also bought Pat Cummins at a whopping fee of 15.5 Crore, who turned out to be the costliest pick in the auction and 2nd in the history of IPL. Moreover, many players like Eoin Morgan, Tom Curran and many more, shared their excitement to get picked by the franchises. So, that they will get an opportunity to be the part of Indian Premier League in the upcoming season.

On the other hand, Team India spent their time chilling out with each other. Moreover, Virat Kohli and Mayank Agarwal shared some fascinating pictures for their fans on the social media platform.
