RCB Becomes First IPL Team to Cross 19 Million Instagram Followers
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has become the first IPL team to cross the milestone of 19 million followers on Instagram, solidifying its position as the most popular franchise on the platform. This achievement marks a significant leap for RCB, who have steadily grown their fanbase and recently overtaken Chennai Super Kings (CSK), previously the most-followed IPL team.
RCB’s Instagram journey saw a rapid rise after surpassing CSK’s 17.7 million followers mark earlier this year. The franchise’s engaging content, star players like Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis, and their strong performances in IPL 2025 have helped attract millions of fans worldwide. RCB’s social media presence extends beyond Instagram, with over 7 million followers on X (formerly Twitter) and 10 million on Facebook.
The milestone comes amid a successful IPL 2025 campaign, where RCB currently sit among the top teams in the points table. Fans have celebrated this social media feat enthusiastically, sharing their excitement across platforms.
RCB’s rise in followers highlights the growing importance of digital engagement in modern sports, where fan interaction off the field is as crucial as on-field success. With a passionate global fanbase, RCB continues to set benchmarks not just in cricket but also in the digital realm, making them a dominant force in the IPL ecosystem.
