Funny Cricket Tweets March 2020 Edition | Funny Cricket Tweets | 15 Funny Cricket Tweets from March 2020
2020, aye? The year where April Fools should have been cancelled simply because what is going on in the world is scarcely believable.
It is also scarcely believable to think that there was cricket in March. India’s tour of New Zealand had come to a close, Australia were in South Africa, Zimbabwe were in Bangladesh, West Indies were in Sri Lanka and the PSL was rolling on. In what seems like an eternity ago, all cricket came to a standstill from mid-March onwards, as the COVID-19 pandemic wreaks havoc around the globe.
Social media use has skyrocketed, with many looking for some relief amid uncertainty, anxiety and social distancing. So, you are in the right place as I list 15 funny cricket tweets from March 2020. Enjoy.
1. Great Maggi Noodles Tip

I’m not one who supports fanwars, but this tweet from @double_century was both cheeky and hilarious.
Virat Kohli had a difficult tour of New Zealand. Linking his short stays at the crease with cooking two-minute Maggi noodles gives us all some nice tips for making the perfect noodles and a bit of a chuckle at the same time.
2. No chance for RCB to underachieve… yet

IPL 2020 was meant to be happening right now. Specifically, RCB were meant to be underachieving right now (sorry RCB fans).
So, with no IPL on, RCB fans finally have the chance to relax and not be stressed at this time of year. Well, at least @Jaswanth__R thinks so.
3. Stay inside, stay safe

Ravi Ashwin’s tweet about staying safe sent Twitter into a frenzy. But, hours earlier, @MyKuhl delivered the goods, linking one of cricket’s most infamous moments to an important COVID-19 message. Creativity at its finest.
4. RCB were ahead of their time

If RCB win the IPL Title, it is estimated that internet memes will decline by at least 25%.
Of course, that is a bit of satire, but one thing for certain is that RCB, unfortunately for they and their fans, are easy targets. So, when “social distancing” became a hot topic, @ladywithflaws pounced on the opportunity, highlighting how RCB were ahead of the curve. Creative.
5. Sad day indeed

If you don’t enjoy a chuckle or two during these times, you’ll cry.
COVID-19 is hovering over IPL 2020 like its vicious murderer, super glad that it’s gone. Very good memeing from @theesmaarkhan, uniting IPL fans who feel the same way.
6. Unhappy ABD

Safe to say that when AB de Villiers decided to skip PSL 2020 ahead of IPL 2020, it didn’t go down too well with Pakistan fans.
So, with IPL 2020 postponed and a good chance of being cancelled, @PakistanCric10 pounced on the opportunity to bring up ABD’s decision. Funny.
7. Happy Michael Holding

While AB de Villiers is unhappy, Michael Holding is thrilled. A high-profile opponent of T20 cricket, @CSKManya has given us an accurate summary of Holding’s mood as IPL did not begin when scheduled.
Holding’s formula: Beautiful action + great career as player and commentator + no T20 cricket = happiness.
8. Shouldn’t Sammy be self-isolating?

Darren Sammy has been an excellent captain over the years and is a player that has always punched above his weight. But, when it comes to calls for people to stay home, Sammy isn’t the best listener!
Genuinely thought it was him. Funny stuff from @MubbashirAbbas8.
9. Daniel Alexander? Not quite

The Daniel Alexander parody account, @Daniel86criket, is helping many get through these times of quarantine and self-isolation. One such gem is how many T20Is Sri Lanka have won in 2020.
If you are unaware of who Daniel Alexander is – he is a Sri Lankan fan and correspondent with a Twitter account that contains at least 85% of tweets about India in some negative way. A complete disregard for being unbiased.
10. Javaid has no chill
Kanika Kapoor tested positive for COVID-19 for an incredible fifth time. @JavaidSpeaks didn’t miss the chance for a cricket-related response, with this well-and-truly looking likely to go into a seven-match series.
In all seriousness, though, I hope Kanika recovers quickly and does not catch the virus again.
11. England fans watching The Test
One major positive out of a difficult March was “The Test” on Amazon Prime Video. In @Vitu_E‘s words “they can cancel our sport, but they cannot cancel our memes” – great creativity here in highlighting England fans’ pain which brought out the laughs. Watch with sound on!
By the way, if you haven’t watched The Test yet, here are five reasons you must.
12. One thing for certain

Amid all the uncertainty, one thing is for sure. You can bet your house that Steve Smith is shadow batting somewhere (at home, most likely). Thank you @itsashleeee_ for bringing some certainty into our lives during these times.
13. COVID-19 has achieved the impossible

March has seen a record low for “he’s watching the cricket again” and “is that match still going?” I know this, as I am speaking from experience.
Kudos to cricket legend @sthalekar93 for an awesome sense of humour! Funny stuff indeed.
14. Step aside, Jacques Kallis, Garfield Sobers etc.
Jacques Kallis, Garfield Sobers and the like were good, but are they as good as this guy? All three disciplines in one ball; very funny stuff courtesy of Rajvender Singh, shared by @divyadutta25. Peak creativity in a time which calls for it!
15. A win for CSK

@CSKian716 again. In these difficult times, you can turn to CSK fans as there is no chance of losing to their nemesis MI anytime soon.
CSK were meant to play MI in the opening game of IPL 2020, which gives them the best chance as MI rarely win their first game. But, CSK fans didn’t want to be taking chances. Funny stuff.
So, I hope this selection of tweets has provided some smiles and laughs in these times. Another edition will be out for April, so if you have something to share, do send to me or tag me on Twitter @cric_blog.
