Cricket, though played only in a very few countries in the world, is still one of the most followed sports on social media. India, as the second most populous country in the world, has the largest fan base of cricket anywhere in the world.

The Indian Premier League is a Twenty20 cricket league in India held every year during the months of April and May. Ever since its founding by the BCCI in 2008, it has become increasingly popular, turning even non-cricket fans to the sport.

IPL is the most watched cricket league in the world and with its recent TV broadcasting deal worth $2.5 Billion with Star India, these stats are bound to grow.
