Top 3 Most Popular Men's Cricketers on Instagram in 2025

There are many people in India who treat cricket players like gods and worship them. While not all of these cricketer's play for the Indian national team on a regular basis; majority of them build very large followings when they are playing for an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise. By the time these players make it to international cricket; they have accumulated a large number of fans who are praying for their success. Social Networking websites such as Facebook, Instagram and X are great ways for fans to remain in contact and follow their favourite players.

Hardik Pandya

One of the most exciting characters in international cricket is Hardik Pandya. He plays cricket with his heart on his sleeve but lives life to the fullest outside the stadium. His extraordinary performance for India in white-ball cricket in 2025 included being on the squad that won the Champions Trophy final in March 2025. Hardik has a massive following of 44.8 million followers on Instagram.

Rohit Sharma

In 2025, Rohit Sharma had quite an eventful year when he captained India to win the Champions Trophy before he retired from Test cricket and was succeeded by Shubman Gill as ODI captain. Even though he has now retired from Test cricket, the Mumbai hero is still proving to be a force to be reckoned with as a batsman, and he finished up as the second-highest run-scorer in ODIs for India, behind only Virat Kohli, for the year. The former India captain has an impressive following on Instagram, with over 45.6 million followers.

Virat Kohli

Kohli had another memorable year in 2025 just like fellow Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma and was one of India’s best players during the triumphant Champions Trophy appearance. As a result of retiring from Test cricket, he has become an even more important member of the ODI setup. After waiting 18 seasons to do so, Kohli finally won his first IPL title as did the millions of Royal Challengers Bangalore fans. More recently, Kohli was named Player of the Series when India faced South Africa in ODI series played in India. Kohli is far ahead of the rest of the players on this list with respect to Instagram followers with 274 million.
