All the world's cricketers walked into a bar. The LOLs, the chatter, and the occasional mini-brawls, they were endless. And the news cycle was never the same again! Welcome to ESPNcricinfo's Social Buzz, your go-to destination for all the bantz, the jousts, and little bit of eavesdropping from the social media playground and beyond.
February 16
Shreyas Iyer was on a roll on the limited-overs leg of the tour of New Zealand, piling on the runs almost each time he went out to bat. A well-earned break for the young man then, and it's already become a special, special one.

Sourav Ganguly gets trolled by Yuvraj Singh and Sachin Tendulkar
Once a captain, always your dad? Sourav Ganguly posted a throwback photo (with a dad-style typo in it) of the 1996 Lord's Test where he made a hundred on debut. Yuvraj Singh replied in the comments, pointed out a BCCI president should be more professional and remove watermarks from photos. And Sachin Tendulkar recalled another famous Ganguly moment at Lord's.
A Valentine round-up because what else can we do on Feb 14?
The day we can't have enough heart emojis.
Sachin Tendulkar was like, I'll try to be different from everyone else today, but no one was buying it. Nerd.
