IPL Social Map: King Kohli Beats Thala Dhoni!

There is no denying the fact that MS Dhoni is still the most popular cricketer in Indian subcontinent, despite the fact that it has been over five years since his retirement from international Cricket. Even after all these years, he is one of the biggest crowd pullers in IPL.

Coming to something more relevant now, the high-profile game between Chennai and Bengaluru is happening at the famous Chepauk Stadium in Chennai later today.

Ahead of the same, a publication from Jio Hotstar and Star Sports has pictured a social map based on the social media activity happening on Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni.

Going by this social mapping, Virat Kohli is leading Thala Dhoni in terms of popularity ahead of the big game today. The proportionate social media buzz on these two players is tilting in favour of Virat Kohli with 53% while Dhoni has 47%.

This is just a measure of the social media activity happening on these two star players, but it’s not a direct reflection of the sheer popularity of the two of them. This demographic is now going viral on social media and understandably so, considering the gravity of the game today.

Meanwhile, the high-profile clash between Chennai and Bengaluru is happening at 7:30 PM today. Both the teams have won their opening matches and are determined to have a go at each other now.
