CSK Fan Following in World: Exploring Chennai Super Kings' Number of Followers on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook

Chennai Super Kings is certainly one of the most followed teams in the Indian Premier League. The presence of former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has also played an important part in the popularity of the franchise. Furthermore, their consistency has also provided a shot in the arm to their fan-following.

Barring 2020 and 2022, Super Kings have qualified for the playoffs in all the seasons they have played in (CSK were banned from IPL in 2016 and 2017). Returning post a two-year ban, they were welcomed with open arms by their fans. They are the second most successful side in the history of the IPL with four titles (2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021) under their belt.

The craze of the Super Kings can be judged from the fact that the MA Chidambaram Stadium almost got full during the first training session of the franchise at their home ground recently. With the city all in readiness of hosting home matches of Super Kings after four years, the stands are expected to be completely filled with Yellove this season.

Domination across social media platforms is a real thing among all the franchises, and CSK is doubtlessly the most popular franchise on social media as well. With around 33.5 million followers across all platforms, they are at the very top position. Mumbai Indians are a little behind them with around 32.3 million followers. Royal Challengers Bangalore are third on the list.

With the arrival of star England all-rounder Ben Stokes, the taks about the side has increased even more. Chennai fans are said to be one of the most passionate fans, and they will be eager to see their ‘Thala Dhoni’ at their den. Even in away matches, Chennai’s support is expected to surpass the home team.

Chennai Super Kings were forced to play their home matches in Pune in 2018, and the ground used to be filled with yellow there as well. With the content they are posting on social media right now, the trend of the side is expected to increase year after year.

On Instagram, Super Kings have 11.2 million followers. They have 9.4 million followers on Twitter and 12 million followers on Facebook. It is certain that the popularity of the club is immense, and it helps them in getting huge sponsorship deals as well.
