With the digital age that we are now living in, social media has made its presence felt in every different avenue. From corporates to the world of advertising, small businesses to large industries, every entity is absorbed by the reach and scope social media possesses. The world of sports is yet another field that has been embraced by social media. Cricket, which is slowly turning into a global game, is one of the sports attracting the attention of many on various digital platforms. It has also turned out to be one of the largest platforms for brands to market their products by signing some of the finest cricketers in the world.

Concerning the cricketers, their social media following and stature is another catalyst in them taking huge paychecks home for their brand work. As a result, the wealth that today’s cricket players can make via endorsement contracts have gone up exponentially as compared to what they could earn a decade or so back.

Here are five cricketers with the highest social media following:

5. Suresh Raina &#8211; 44.4 million

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Suresh Raina, who recently retired from international cricket having debuted for India in 2005, is number five on the list. The left-handed batter was a core member of the Indian team in the span of his playing career. Raina has quite a strong presence on social media with close to 45 million followers. He has the maximum of his followers on Twitter at 19.7M, with 18.7 M Instagram followers and 6M being on Facebook.

Raina, who is often regarded as Mr. IPL, is one of the pioneers when it comes to the shortest format of the game. With his exceptional stroke play and power-hitting ability, the southpaw gained a massive fan following as is apparent in his presence on social media. The cricketer remains to be very active on his various handles often posting pictures with his family, of his training and him cooking with passion.

4. Rohit Sharma &#8211; 63.8 million

India’s current all-format captain, Rohit Sharma, takes the fourth spot on the list. The elegant batter has roughly 64M social media followers across all platforms, with 22.7 M on Instagram, 20 M on Facebook and 20.1M on Twitter. The cricketer is quite active on social media with his regular posts.

Sharma being consistent in his performances on the ground and by winning many a game for India is often trending on social media post his many heroics. Thus, enhancing his social media presence.

He also supports several different social causes that he often posts about. Apart from that, the senior Indian cricketer also has various endorsements to his name. With him now being handed over India’s captaincy, the spotlight could well be on the Mumbai batter, which should further shoot up his numbers on social media.

3. Mahendra Singh Dhoni- 72.9 million

(Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

Many believe MS Dhoni to arguably be India’s best-ever captain. The cricketer being the only Indian skipper to win three ICC trophies has done well to promote his cause with his stellar captaincy records. However, MS Dhoni is not too far behind when it comes to his social media admiration as well. Mahi, as he is lovingly called by his fans, has a huge number of people following him across all of the social media.

The much-famed finisher has 37.5M Instagram users following him on the platform. On Facebook, he has 27M with it being considerably less on Twitter at 8.4M. The total adds up to around 73 M followers on all major platforms for Dhoni.

Considering MS is one of those cricketers who are not very active on social media, the numbers that the cricketer has garnered on social media are humongous.

2. Sachin Tendulkar &#8211; 106.9 million

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-560853" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Sachin-Tendulkar.jpg" alt="Sachin Tendulkar" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-560853" class="wp-caption-text">Sachin Tendulkar. (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar played his final game for India back in 2013. However, the little master is as much in demand on social media post his retirement from the sport as he was during his playing career. Tendulkar has a following of close to 107M social media users across multiple platforms. With 33M followers on Instagram, 37M on Facebook and almost 36.9M on Twitter, the former Indian captain sits pretty at the number two spot.

Tendulkar has his social media following well aligned with his cricketing records. It is almost as if Tendulkar has continued with his knack of making new records by translating his dominance to the world of social media as well.

It could be wondered if social media was as prevalent during Tendulkar’s prime as it is now, what numbers would the legendary cricketer rack up.

1. Virat Kohli &#8211; 278.8 million

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-590554" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli-7.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-590554" class="wp-caption-text">Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: Instagram)</figcaption>

Virat Kohli is arguably one of the most sought-after cricketers in the sport at this time. And unsurprisingly, he sits comfortably at the top of this list. The former Indian captain boasts of a huge social media following with a mammoth 183M followers on Instagram alone. The stylish player also has 49M Facebook and 46.8M Twitter followers.

With a total of close to 280M followers across all platforms, the modern-day great, who has been at the top of his game for over a long period, justifies the kind of admiration he attracts. Be it with his spectacular on-field performances or his off-field endorsements and overall presence, the star cricketer is seen as one of the greatest sporting idols to come out of India.

The fact that Kohli is miles ahead in terms of followers in comparison to the second-placed, with a massive margin of more than 150 million, reiterates his stature in Indian cricket.

With the digital age that we are now living in, social media has made its presence felt in every different avenue. From corporates to the world of advertising, small businesses to large industries, every entity is absorbed by the reach and scope social media possesses. The world of sports is yet another field that has been embraced by social media.
