Twitter dominated all the headlines on Wednesday, September 5 2018. From Indian captain Virat Kohli bearing the brunt of fans on Twitter to Rohit Sharma raising eyebrows from the Indian fans after reportedly unfollowing the Indian captain on Twitter and Instagram.
And on Teachers' day, several Indian cricketers took to Twitter to speak their mind about the lessons that they have learned so far. All the major headlines for the day came courtesy of Twitter and it speaks for how far we have come in the age of social media that one medium has become the platform for so many news.
Here are all of today's important developments from the cricket world.
Kohli trolled on Twitter after accepting custom jersey from Southampton
Things haven't really gone according to plan for Virat Kohli in the ongoing Test series against England. While he has been in splendid form with the bat, leading the run-scoring charts with 544 runs at an incredible average of 68, India has failed to string together consistent performances across a Test and are hence down 1-3 going into the final Test.
To make matters, captain Kohli has been ridiculed on Twitter after he accepted a custom jersey from Premier League club Southampton FC, which was presented by forward Danny Ings. The 29-year-old was mocked for supporting the club, who are currently 12th on the table with just a solitary win this season despite previously seen cheering for clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid.
All of this came from a rather innocuous photo posted by Southampton FC on Twitter which had Kohli holding a Southampton jersey with number 18.
Rift between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma?
Something, nothing or everything. That is certainly what everyone is wondering after newly-appointed Indian skipper for Asia Cup 2018 Rohit Sharma apparently unfollowed full-time captain Virat Kohli on Twitter and Instagram.
The 31-year-old Rohit wasn't selected in India's Test squad for England but was announced skipper for the Asia Cup as Kohli has been rested but the opener's apparent decision to unfollow Kohli has caused a huge stir among fans on social media.
There are some who are wondering if there is a rift brewing between the two and that was enough for Twitterati to speculate and create quite a story even though it is still unclear as to whether any of this did actually happen.
As usual, this meant that Twitter was abuzz with speculation and while some were ready to dismiss this as much ado about nothing, others weren't so sure.
