	<h2 style="text-align: left;">Do you love an IPL team because it has your favourite player in the team? Alternatively, is it because it has your favourite player as captain? Or is it because it has your favourite players as the coach? Do you support an IPL team because it belongs to your city? Or do you support a team because the owner of that team is your inspiration?</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">There could be so many other reasons for supporting the IPL team of your choice.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The cricket fans generally prefer a team that has strongest international players in their team. Some of them chose their team because of their national cricket team captains. Let us have a look at social media to understand which team has the most number of fans on the internet. This will also give an idea to find out the most popular IPL team.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">On Facebook, the two times IPL champion, Kolkata Knight Riders page has the most number of likes with more than 16 million people following the team. The second in the list is Mumbai Indians with more than 12 million likes on Facebook. Though Mumbai Indians have one extra IPL trophy as compared to Kolkata Knight Riders, they are behind KKR regarding popularity on Facebook. One of the reasons behind their popularity might be because of superstar Shah Rukh Khan who is famous globally. The third and fourth teams concerning most numbers of Facebook likes are Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore with more than 11 million and 9 million fans respectively.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The situation is bit twisted when it comes to Twitter. Here, Mumbai Indians has 4.59 million followers and is ahead of Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders who have 3.86 million and 3.72 million followers on this social media platform.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">On Instagram, Mumbai Indians is again ahead of all other teams. MI has 1.5 million followers followed by Royal Challengers Bangalore who has 1.4 million followers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The interesting thing to note here is that Mumbai has an estimated population of 18.41 million people and it is least if compared to any other IPL playing states. Whether it is because of the strong players in the team or because of the most number of IPL trophies or because of the owners that have the most money, this team is certainly the most popular team.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Below is the table depicting the overall impact of IPL teams on different social media platforms.</p>

	<p>Most of the IPL teams have played safe by choosing the same skipper for their teams, who have previously led them to IPL trophies. The IPL franchises have appointed their captains for this season. And the management has opted for their best player for the position. The common trait between Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni, David Warner, Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir, R Ashwin, Steve Smith and Rohit Sharma is that they all have performed exceptionally well and stood out from rest of the players in IPL and at international level.</p>
<p>Let us have a look at some captaincy records in IPL that few of the current captains have already achieved and few other must be aiming for this season. MS Dhoni has played 143 matches, most matches as a captain in IPL for Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiants. Out of which, his team won 83 games with win percent of 58.45.</p>
<p>Steve Smith has led Pune Warriors, Rajasthan Royals and Rising Pune Supergiants in 24 matches. Smith side has won 16 games with a win percent of 66.66. Rohit Sharma has a winning percent of 60.66. He has led Mumbai Indians in 75 matches, and MI has won 49 matches and lost 29 in his leadership.</p>
<p>As a contributor in IPL, captain of RCB, Virat Kohli has scored 4418 runs in 141 innings with an average of 37.44. He has second most runs in the IPL followed by the captain of Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma has scored 4207 runs in 154 innings with an average of 32.61. David Warner, captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, is at fifth position. Warner has scored 4014 runs in 114 innings. He has a phenomenal average of 40.54 and batting strike rate of 142.13. MS Dhoni is also under top 10 lists of players having most runs in IPL career. He has scored 3561 runs in 143 innings with an average of 37.88.</p>
<p>Dinesh Karthik, captain of Kolkata Knight Riders has most 106 dismissals as a wicketkeeper in 136 IPL innings. Karthik is followed by MS Dhoni who has 102 dismissals in 152 matches. These captains are nonetheless in their fielding skills. Rohit Sharma has taken 71 catches so far and ranked third among the players with most catches in IPL. Virat Kohli has taken 60 catches, and he stands at number six followed by David Warner with 52 catches. In bowling, R Ashwin has taken 100 wickets in 108 innings with an economy of 6.54, and he has best bowling figure of 4/34.</p>
<p>MS Dhoni has led Chennai Super Kings to win two IPL trophies in 2010 and 2011. Rohit Sharma has led his team to three IPL titles - 2013, 2015, 2017. Warner has led Sunrisers Hyderabad to win their first IPL trophy in 2016. Gautam Gambhir, the current captain of Delhi Daredevils, has led Kolkata Knight Riders to win the 2012 and 2014 season of IPL.</p>

	<p>Along with the captain, the team coach is equally responsible and crucial for the performance of a cricket team. The coach carves a winning path for the team and is equally involved with the captain in choosing the best eleven players for a match. Let us have a look at the coaches of the IPL 2018 teams and their hold on the teams.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-209 aligncenter" src="http://cricketkhel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/13Warne-Royals-300x203.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="203" /></p>
<h2><strong>Shane Warne (Rajasthan Royals)</strong> </h2>
<p>Rajasthan Royals have made a comeback in 2018 IPL after being suspended for couple of years and brought Shane Warne as their mentor. He played four IPL seasons from 2008 to 2011 with team as the captain and coach and he was highly successful throughout his career. His extra ordinary leadership skills helped his unpopular average team to finish the first edition of IPL as the winners.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-224 aligncenter" src="http://cricketkhel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/images-3.jpg" alt="" width="279" height="201" /></p>
<h2><strong>Ricky Ponting (Delhi Daredevils)</strong> </h2>
<p>Former Australian captain and three- time World Cup winner is appointed as the head coach of Delhi Daredevils franchise for this IPL season. He replaced Rahul Dravid who stepped down due to BCCI's conflict of interest policy. Ponting has previously coached Mumbai Indians for two seasons out of which they won the title in 2015.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-211 aligncenter" src="http://cricketkhel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/jaya_647_041017022804-300x204.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></p>
<h2><strong>Mahela Jayawardene (Mumbai Indians)</strong> </h2>
<p>He became the head coach of Mumbai Indians last year and replaced Ricky Ponting. However, Mumbai Indians have multiple coaches in their team for every skill; Lasith Malinga along with Shane Bond as bowling coach, Robin Singh as bowling coach and newly appointed fielding coach James Pemment replacing Jonty Rhodes but the credit also goes to the head coach for winning the title last year.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-125 aligncenter" src="http://cricketkhel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/images-1-300x196.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="196" /></p>
<h2><strong>Stephen Fleming (Chennai Super Kings)</strong> </h2>
<p>He was a part of Chennai Super Kings in first IPL where the team became the runner up. He became the team coach in 2009 after retiring as a player. Under his leadership, CSK won the IPL title twice, both in 2010 and 2011 along with winning the Champions League T20 in 2010 and 2014. This year, CSK has appointed him as their head after coming back from two-year suspension. Along with Fleming, Michael Hussey is appointed as their batting coach. The equation between Dhoni and Fleming is quite good, as both the captain and coach are known for their cool-headed nature.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-227 aligncenter" src="http://cricketkhel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/images-4-300x188.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="188" /></p>
<h2><strong>Brad Hodge (Kings XI Punjab)</strong></h2>
<p> This year, Kings XI Punjab appointed Hodge as their head coach and Virender Sehwag as Director - Cricket Operations and team mentor. From last two seasons, Hodge was previously the head coach of Gujarat Lions. Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad will be their bowling coach.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-219 aligncenter" src="http://cricketkhel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/457203-jacques-kallis-getty-300x177.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="177" /></p>
<h2><strong>Jacques Kallis (Kolkata Knight Riders)</strong> </h2>
<p>He was appointed as the head coach of Kolkata Knight Riders before the start of IPL 2016 season. He had been associated with the team after replacing previous head coach Trevor Bayliss. Kallis was also the batting consultant of KKR for 2015 IPL season. Previously, he also played an important role for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2012 and made his team win the trophy by scoring 407 runs and taking 15 wickets.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-212 aligncenter" src="http://cricketkhel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Tom-Moddy-Press-Conference-300x207.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="207" /></p>
<h2><strong> Tom Moody (Sunrisers Hyderabad) </strong></h2>
<p>In the first two season of IPL, he coached Kings XI Punjab and joined Sunrisers Hyderabad as the coach in 2013. SRH finished in the top four that season. Under Moody's guidance, SRH won the IPL trophy in 2016 . In 2017, SRH reached to playoffs, but lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in the eliminator. He has also coached Sri Lanka during the 2007 World Cup finals.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-216 aligncenter" src="http://cricketkhel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/vettori647_041717015129-300x204.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></p>
<h2><strong>Daniel Vettori (Royal Challengers Bangalore)</strong> </h2>
<p>RCB retained former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori as their head coach, who has been coaching RCB since 2014 IPL season. Along with him, Gary Kirsten has been appointed as the batting coach and Ashish Nehra as the bowling coach. Additionally, they both will also play the role of mentor for the team.</p>
