IPL 2021: Most popular teams on Social Media

2. Mumbai Indians: 28.55 Million followers

The Mumbai Indians are the most successful team in the history of the IPL. But, success was never handed to them, they had to work hard. The Mumbai-based franchise had to change its captain midway during the 2013 season. And a young Rohit Sharma led the team to its first title victory in 2013. 

Since then, Mumbai has won IPL titles in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. This showcases the consistency of Mumbai Indians. Adding on, the efforts of the management should be appreciated as well. As they have some big names like Pollard, Sharma, Bumrah, and Pandya Brothers, they certainly have the largest fan base in the tournament. 

There was an extremely close fight between the fan following across all formats between MI and CSK. So we dwelled on detailed numbers after which MI came at the second position. On Facebook, Mumbai Indians has a fan base of 13,735,021 followers. Apart from that, they have 7,986,935 followers on Instagram and 6,834,435 on Twitter. With every passing season, their fan following has been increasing significantly. Also, the association of big names off the field has been helping the franchise in this sector.
