The controversy around the largest fan base to IPL is on-going for years now, but many cricket fans think that Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the most popular teams. The name CSK is frequently brought up when it comes to the most popular IPL team, thanks to MS Dhoni’s massive fan following and their consistent performances. RCB has a huge fan following as well, thanks to Virat Kohli and their active presence on social media. Mumbai Indians are also one of the leading contenders as they have a lot of trophies and a huge fan base all over India. Star players, team wins, regional support, and digital interactions are all key components of fan following. While all the IPL franchises have fans, CSK and RCB are considered as the most popular sides in the IPL.
