Punjab Kings Beat RCB and Top Google’s 2025 IPL Search Rankings

Punjab Kings have surprised many by becoming the most-searched IPL franchise on Google in 2025. They now rank fourth among all sports teams globally, ahead of every other IPL side, including RCB.

Google’s list shows PBKS sitting beside some of the biggest names in world sport. Paris Saint Germain, S.L. Benfica, and the Toronto Blue Jays make up the rest of the Top 5. Delhi Capitals are the only other IPL team in that group.

The numbers point to PBKS’ growing global fan base. The team has seen strong digital engagement and has built a wider international presence in the last year. The report explains that Google evaluates total search volume, how steady the searches are across time, and how these searches spread across countries.

The list focuses on long term interest rather than sudden viral peaks in one region. This shows that Punjab Kings are drawing steady attention from fans around the world.

The article also mentions that the data is gathered by Google and has not been independently checked by CricTracker.

PBKS say the ranking is proof of their effort to connect with fans.

“This means a lot to us because it reflects what we’ve tried to build this entire year, a team and a brand people genuinely feel connected to,” said Saurabh Arora, the team’s chief commercial officer. He added that while winning matches is the main goal, it is special to see fans respond to the culture and stories the team shares.

Arora said the support motivates them to keep building that bond.

“Being ranked among the most-searched teams globally is humbling. It tells us that people aren’t just watching us. They’re invested, curious, and emotionally tied to the team. We will continue creating moments, stories, and experiences that bring fans even closer to us, on and off the field.”
