IPL 2021: Most popular teams on Social Media

3. Kolkata Knight Riders: 23.6 Million followers

The two-time champions had a poor IPL season last year. Post-2014, they have failed to reach the finals of this lucrative tournament. And, an ever-changing condition is not helping the management to find the perfect combination. Well, this year, the fans will be hoping for a better performance from the team. 

The Kolkata-based franchise is captained by Eoin Morgan. Morgan was handed the captaincy mid-tournament when the team was in a desperate situation. Although the poor form of players never helped the team, they will be looking forward to making it to the playoffs this time. And the presence of Dre Russ will boost the team’s confidence. 

Shah Rukh Khan owns this franchise. So, there is no surprise that it has a huge fanbase. On Facebook, KKR has 16.4M followers. If we have a look at other social media sites like Twitter, they have a fan following of 4.5M followers. On Instagram, they have 2.7M followers. With another IPL season coming up, we might witness a rise in the number of followers.
