Ranking IPL teams based on their Instagram followers
Instagram has become one of the most used social networking sites all over the world and with over 1 billion users, it has become one of the best places for achieving fame and popularity in a very short time.
The Indian Premier League is the most popular cricket league all over the world and all the IPL franchises have their own Instagram handles, used by them to increase the popularity of their team.
The franchises share the inside updates of their team, their achievements and attract the fans to follow their page on Instagram.
So, it can be said that the more the number of followers a team has on Instagram, the more is its popularity and so, here we have ranked all the 8 IPL franchises on the basis of their Instagram followers.
#8 Rajasthan Royals - Instagram Followers - 3,92,000
The first ever champions of the Indian Premier League, Rajasthan Royals, have the least number of Instagram followers amongst all the IPL teams. The Royals have 3,92,000+ followers on Instagram, which is quite low as compared to the other seven teams.
One of the key reasons behind it is the absence of any big stars in the team. The biggest Indian name in the franchise is Ajinkya Rahane and the team has a lot of young Indian players who are relatively less popular than the other players.
Also, the franchise had faced a 2-year ban after its owners were involved in a betting scandal and so, that could be one of the reasons why the Rajasthan Royals have a smaller fan-base. The team had finished fourth in the 2018 and the Jaipur franchise would be looking to improve their performance and win the title this year.
