IPL: Top 5 teams with most social media following

The world's largest T20 league is now the Indian Premier League. It's hardly surprising that IPL teams have amassed millions of social media fans given their matches and international superstars. To interact with fans and provide updates, teams use social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and X (previously Twitter).

A team's popularity is shown by its social media following. Even the international cricket teams don't have as many fans as some IPL teams. All of this is a result of their top players and fans. This article examines the top 5 IPL teams with the most social media followers.

Here are the top 5 teams with the most social media following in the IPL:

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), led by Ruturaj Gaikwad and featuring legend MS Dhoni, is without a doubt the most well-liked IPL team with the most supporters. In the Indian Premier League, CSK is the clear leader in terms of social media presence and fan base, with an incredible combined following of over 42.4 million on popular social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

With five titles, the Mumbai Indians are among the most successful IPL teams. With 37.9 million fans, they have a huge following. They are one of the most well-liked teams because of their connections to cricketing greats like Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, and Sachin Tendulkar.

Despite not having an IPL championship yet, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have a devoted following, thanks in great part to Virat Kohli. The former Indian captain has 33.9 million followers on various platforms, making him the most followed cricket player in the world.

Thanks to co-owner and Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, KKR is well-known outside of cricket. With a combined fan base of 29.1 million, the franchise has won three IPL titles. There have been big-name players playing for KKR, but the majority of their following is due to SRK’s loyal fan base.

During IPL 2025, the Delhi Capitals are generating a lot of buzz on social media because of their outstanding performances and affable leadership. Massive attention has been paid to their winning streak, which includes a historic victory over the Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk after 15 years. Fans are applauding their heroes on the internet because of the game-winning heroics of notable players like KL Rahul, Ashutosh Sharma, and leg-spinner Vipraj Nigam.

The team's captivating social media tactics have contributed to their fame off the field. Fans are kept engaged and enthusiastic with imaginative posts, interactive materials, and behind-the-scenes looks. They are the talk of the IPL season thanks to their revitalized team spirit, which has struck a chord with millions of people under Axar Patel's leadership.
