Most popular Indian T20 League team revealed!

The Indian T20 League 2022 came to a close about a week ago. It was Gujarat who won the title. It was a tournament of great uncertainties as top teams such as Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata finished in the bottom three of the points table. On the other hand, debutants Gujarat and Lucknow, alongside Rajasthan Bangalore, were in the top four.

Lucknow's journey was ended in the Eliminator game by Bangalore. The Bangalore-based franchise who were carrying the expectations of finally lifting the trophy were knocked out by Rajasthan in the Qualifier 2. The inaugural winners had the chance of winning the title for the second time but were stopped by the Ahmedabad-based team. Meanwhile, a report has been published by Deportes & Finanzas.

For the unversed, it is a sports management company that researches different sports teams around the globe. In their recent report, it is revealed that Bangalore was the most popular cricket team on Instagram in the first trimester of the calendar year 2022. An interesting point to be noted is that the team was popular even before the start of the cash-rich league this year.

The tournament started on March 26 this year, and ended on May 29. Also, another notable thing is despite the team not winning the title in 14 years, they are still the fan favourites. The reason for this could be the presence of Virat Kohli, who has a huge fan following across the globe. As a matter of fact, is one of the most popular cricketers on social media as well. Another reason could be the star players who have for the team over the years.

Besides, players such as Rahul Dravid, Zaheer Khan, Anil Kumble, Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum, Mitchell Starc, Jacques Kallis, and many more have played for Bangalore. Despite the team having so many stars, they haven't been able to win a single edition. The team has been repeatedly criticized for choking in the matches which matter the most. However, they arguably have the most loyal fans.
