IPL 2026: 5 most followed captains on Instagram
Over the years, social media, especially Instagram, has become a key platform to gain popularity and connect with fans beyond the field for the players.
3. Rishabh Pant (16.3 million)
Arguably the most acrobatic Indian cricketer currently, Rishabh Pant is one of the most followed cricketers on the planet. The left-hander has a staggering 16.3 million followers on Instagram, making him the third-most followed captain ahead of the IPL 2026 season.
The Haridwar-born will be seen leading the Lucknow Super Giants franchise and is gearing up well for the upcoming edition of the cash-rich tournament, with an aim to give the side its maiden trophy. Pant had a poor IPL 2025, in which he scored only 269 runs for his side. This year though, he will be aiming to score more.
