The Don’t cry trend: Twitter is one of the finest platforms for sports banter. From controversial takes, to unique player statistics. However, sometimes it winds back the clock for every good/bad memory about a particular game.
This time it’s the “Don’t cry, it’s just a wicket” trend which has kept cricketing fans busy. It all started with the official handle of Star Sports posting a picture of MS Dhoni getting run out in the semi finals versus New Zealand in the ICC Cricket World Cup of 2019. They also came up with a witty yet heart breaking caption.

Another post by a user showed the Pandya brothers’ rush of emotions after Krunal scored a fifty on his ODI debut and dedicated it to his late father.
