When it comes to Twitter followers among Indian Premier League [IPL] franchises competing in the tenth edition of the tournament, Kolkata Knight Riders come out on top with 2.47 million followers.
The Knight Riders are two times champions of the IPL, having won the tournament in 2012 and 2014 – both under the captaincy of Gautam Gambhir.
With Kolkata being a sports-crazy city, this will come as no surprise. The presence of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as a co-owner also helps the franchise not only gain fans across India but all over the world.
