Just a day before the crucial India Vs Australia match that will decide which team will reach the finals in this year's World Cup, social media is full of fans showing off their superstitious side.
The world of 140 characters is talking about the things that people do or they don't when India is playing a cricket match.
#MyCricketTotka has been trending on Twitter all day, generating nearly 2,000 tweets at the time of writing this.
NEVER see india's match and #Dhoni's batting. If watched India lost the match. So only highlights saw. #MyCricketTotka @Paytm

#MyCricketTotka when a wicket doesn't fall...I drink a litre of water... and hold my pee till that wicket falls.
- IamPosu (@theposu) March 25, 2015The hashtag started when mobile recharge website Paytm announced a contest, asking Twitterati to tweet their superstitions to ensure India wins a match.
