Google released its annual “Year in Search” list, reminding us of trending

There were plenty of other search that had Pakistanis’ attention before and amidst the virus; Turkish serials were all the rage, misogynistic comments had everyone riled up and whether you’re into politics or not, people had a little fun at the expense of the drawn-out US elections.

Google released its annual “Year in Search” list on Wednesday, reminding us of trending topics that we may have even forgotten (the highly anticipated Meray Paas Tum Ho finale was this year!). The list is basically a roundup of the newsworthy things that took place during a year and had a high spike in traffic over a sustained period in 2020 compared to 2019.

So without further suspense, here’s who and what was trending in Pakistan in a year like no other in modern history:

Top search

This year — like last year and the year before that — cricket continued to reign supreme in the list. Six of the top 10 searches were only cricket. Pakistanis proved that coronavirus — number 2 on the list — may have controlled our movement and every other aspect of our lives following February, cricket is what we live and breathe.
