Royal Challengers Bangalore Stands as the Most Famous Cricket Team on Instagram This August

The literal definition of “Winning trophies is not important, winning hearts is” has started to make sense as the Royal Challengers Bangalore stands at the third position with having the highest social media interaction on Instagram. This data is based on the month of August, and features all the teams that engage the most number of audiences. 

According to Deportes and Finanzas, one of biggest global data analytics firms, the top five teams to have highest user engagement on Instagram are Alnassr FC with 157 M interactions, Al Hilal SFC with 86.2 M, Royal Challengers Bangalore with 54.8 M, Mumbai Indians with 33.0 M, and Chennai Super Kings with 32.8 M interactions. Among these five teams, three of them are Indian franchises of the Indian Premier League (IPL). 

RCB as the No. 1 cricket team

Earlier this year, during the Indian Premier League, the Bangalore franchise had an engagement with the fans for 285 million times. The data provides an analysis that these three cricket teams have a much greater influence than some of the most football clubs around the world. Talking about RCB as the most popular cricket team, its players are admired by everyone having an international fan base. Legendary cricketers like Virat Kohli, Ab de Villiers, Chris Gayle and Dale Steyn have played for RCB and they hold a special place in the hearts of their fans. 

Winning hearts

Although the performance by Royal Challengers Bangalore has not been upto the mark, its players have a different stardom on the face of the world. An imbalanced squad, bizarre team selections, gross inconsistency, and a knack of choking in close matches have often been some of the reasons for their underperformance. 

Despite these ups and downs, RCB has managed to cultivate a huge fan base with fans going gaga over the report by Deportes and Finanzas.
