2. Emojis: Twitter has now released eight new jersey emojis for all the teams in English and six other languages. Users can unlock these emojis and participate in live conversations by tweeting using the team hashtags.

Let us look at some of the hashtags that will unlock the team emojis: #IPL2021, #MumbaiIndians, #OneFamily, #WhistlePodu, #விசில்போடு, #WeAreChallengers, #HallaBol, #RoyalsFamily, #PunjabKings, #SaddaPunjab, #KKRHaiTaiyaar, #KorboLorboJeetbo, #YehHaiNayiDilli and #OrangeArmy.

3. Topics: Twitter users can follow conversations on specific subjects using Topics. This feature pulls out related tweets on a subject. When a person follows a Topic, they will be able to view tweets from a number of accounts whether they follow them or not – based on the shared interest. Twitter had introduced several Topics for cricket, and one for the IPL series, and several others for all of the teams last year.

4. Events Page and Scorecard: Users will be able to go to an events page to follow all the live updates and real-time conversations around IPL 2021 on Twitter itself. Users can also check out the live scores on the Scorecard, which will be featured on the top of the Events page.
