October 19 Social Media Trends

Indian cricket fans were in for a double surprise with the pair of Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant rescuing team India with his thrilling knocks against New Zealand in the first Test played in Bengaluru. While netizens seemed heartbroken after Pant narrowly missed out on a well-deserved century, several former Indian legends like Sachin Tendulkar in particular, he hailed Sarfaraz for his maiden Test century under pressure. Furthermore, he also praised 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 buoyant on Saturday, October 19with commentator Sanjay Manjrekar saluting Rishabh Pants as a once-in-a-generation type of player. Also, former England captain Michael Vaughan asked a curious question after Team India’s comeback 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 his maiden Test century, when India needed it most!… pic.twitter.com/ER8IN5xFA5

I have always maintained that Sarfraz should not be left out because of his physical condition. He doesn’t have a gym body, but he can hit for hours. Cricket is a game that accommodates everyone. https://t.co/NBpC7ewpO3

India certainly knows how to fight. Brilliant 💯 by Sarfraz Khan 👏. The 5 best hitters managing to at least start putting 🇮🇳 in a fighting position.

Absolute delight for Sarfaraz Khan. I loved the way his teammates seemed to enjoy that first Test century for him as much as he did. I 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 plays I’ve ever seen in Test cricket. 😳 👏👏👏

Out of interest, has any team won a Test match having been eliminated in the first round under 50?
