Top Seven Cricketers You Should Follow On TikTok

The COVID-19 has forced many countries across the world to go into lockdown. This also means that there is no sports activity across the world, including cricket. This is probably for the very first time in more than four decades that no domestic or international cricket is being played in a calendar year. As a result, the players have now got a much-needed break from their otherwise hectic schedule.

While some of the cricketers are using this free time to spend with their families and interact with them on social media, there are also few cricketers who are exploring the very famous social networking service TikTok. The Chinese application has now been trending across the world over the last couple of years.

In this article, we will provide you a list of seven international cricketers that you should follow on TikTok.
