Twitter has 1.4 million users in India, the third largest after Germany and the US. Twitter has already become the third most popular social networking site in India, after Orkut and Facebook.
With Indians storming twitter how can cricket stay behind. Cricket is soon making its presence felt on twitterverse, it all started during the Ashes 2009 when #Ashes was a part of
trending topics almost everyday of an Ashes test match. During the Ashes Ricky ponting, Andrew Flintoff and collingwood all made it to Trends.
Talking about Indian cricket, #IPL (During its 2nd season) was Probably the first topic to make it to Trending topics list.
In the past few days not one or two but three Indian cricketers have made it to the trending topics of Twitter.

Not only his century but the completion of 11,000 test runs and the rate at which he scored the runs was what earned him a spot in the prestigious trends.

Master Blaster enters twitter trends after scoring his 45th ODI hundred
Yesterday was a great day on twitter for Indians. Two Indian topics made
it to the trnds.... #TEDIndia and Sachin ..... Iam not very interested in #TEDIndia but what certainly does intrest me is Sachin, So lets talk a bit about the trend.
#sachin is one of the very few Indian topics which trended on twitter (3rd most popular)
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar returned to his vintage self last night when India had a been set a tough target of 351 to chase by the might Australians. Sachin completed his 45th ODI century and also became the only batsmen in cricket history to make 17000 or more Runs .... cool isnt it but the sad part is the rest of the indian team was in no mood to give support to tendulkar in ending the match on a winning note for india, Hence India lost a match in which sachin scored his second highest ODI score, now how ironical is that ...
Nevertheless entire country applauded the knock by Sachin. But the match last night was an incredible one from ODI cricket point of view if you ask a die hard cricket fan he would tell you that Australia did win but in reality it was cricket who won all thanks so the innigs from sachin we had a nail biting finish to the match with india falling short of only 3 runs in the end.
Sachin once again silenced his critics, still there were people saying India always loses when sachin score without realizing the fact that cricket is a team game which cannot be won single handedly which sachin almost did.
India's three run loss must have pained Sachin the most. While all other batsmen excluding sachin i guess walked out to play off the 50 overs already accepting defeat.Every run of the 175 from 141 balls consisting of 19 fours and four sixes was a treat to watch and kept most of India
glued to Tv sets. If anyone in India has the power to unite the country and keep it hooked it defenitely is Sachin Tendulkar, and he defo is the best .
Records made :
*He crossed 17,000 runs in ODI
*He crossed 6,000 ODI runs in India
*He scored his 45th ODI Century and 87th International Century
*He hit the Fastest Century for an Australia Vs India Match
*He has almost scored more than 50% runs of the Team's Score
Also see what cricketing giants have to say about sachin
