The ongoing season of the IPL is underway with the first round of 7 games nearly wrapped up. Setting aside the most successful teams of the tournament thus far, let us have a look at the most popular players in terms of social media hype since the start of the season.
According to Ormax, MS Dhonis is the most popular player on social media with the most number of mentions and user engagement on social media platforms.
Dhoni who doesn’t even use social media frequently topping the list shows the sheer following he commands offline.
Then comes Kohli who is second on the list. Despite RCB’s horrid run in the tournament with 1 win in 6 games, Kohli’s name is super popular on social media platforms, which is evident.
Former captain of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma is third on the list and this is understandable given all the debates around him after he was stripped of the captaincy position by Mumbai.
The three stalwarts of Indian cricket are rightly occupying the top 3 places on the list. Then come Shubman Gill, Heinrich Klaasen, Sanju Samson, Rishabh Pant, and others.
