Rohit Sharma’s world record for the highest individual ODI score of 264 on November 13 drove the biggest spike in conversations on Twitter in India this year. Superstar Rajinikanth's debut on the micro-blogging site and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election campaign were ranked at second and third respectively.
