+46% More Youtube Views Than Goal IPL 2015 – The Real Winners EVENT HIGHLIGHTS Disclaimer: Figures may vary by tracking methodology and tool. Numbers reported are indicative and not actual. Powered by 1 Preface Welcome to the hottest sports league in the world! – Forbes The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been the biggest sporting extravaganza with the highest ever viewership for cricket or any other sport experienced in India . It was founded in 2008 by BCCI to solve for the disconnect between cricket’s worldwide popularity and the lack of commercial success of any domestic league. Since then, the league has grown at breakneck speed. Today, the IPL is 1 cup, 8 teams, 120 players, 45 days of excitement, 59 matches, and millions of fans. Objective of this report is to analyze the social buzz created around IPL and identify the most-engaged/talked-about people, players, and brands under various categories. This report also showcases social strategies adopted by various brands to connect with fans across social media during the IPL. Powered by 2 Executive Summary . As expected from a nation full of cricket fans, opening of the event received a huge respnse on social media . IPL has been popular among women and we observed a good share of engagement online. SRK and AbRam being the key conversation triggers for Kolkata Knight Riders . Social Battle Winner - Mumbai Indians . Social Star - Kolkata Knight Riders . Bollywood – Show ka Glow was seen at IPL, SRK and Bachchan Sr. being most influential actors on social platforms . David Warner and Dwayne Bravo held their crease, Sir Ravindra Jadeja saw his social index increase . Cricketing experts like Harsha Bhogle and influencers like Ramesh Srivats were actively engaged throughout the event . Yuvraj Singh was the most talked about player of IPL this season . Pepsi, with their CrashThePepsiIPL idea and aggressive social engagement strategy, ensured they had the largest brand presence on social. Aircel and YES Bank were not far behind . Vodafone had the maximum airtime on television, Amazon being next on the list Powered by 3 Key Learnings . Primetime of IPL conversations extend beyond the live ‘telecast’ on TV and go on for couple of hours after midnight into next day. This shows that brands can join the after-match conversations happening online for better engagement . Popularity of celebrities/cricketers/influencers, who are highly active on social platforms, could be leveraged by brands for improved reach . An integrated multimedia campaign during the event can create tremendous buzz for the brands. CrashThePepsiIPL campaign was a blockbuster . Conversations can be created smartly using the cross media content generated for brands as in YES bank case . Team sponsorships can be leveraged to enhance business proposition for brands as for Aircel . RED FM demonstrates that it is possible to create a wide reach among real and virtual world’s viewers .

  • Indian Premier League 2019
    VVS LAXMAN Published 3.4.19 The last ten days have reiterated just how significant a place the Indian Premier League has carved for itself on the cricke�ng landscape. Spectacular ac�on and stunning performances have brought the tournament to life right from the beginning, and I expect the next six weeks to be no less gripping. From our point of view, I am delighted at how well Hyderabad have bounced back from defeat in our opening match, against Kolkata. Even in that game, we were in control �ll the end of the 17th over of the chase, but Andre Russell took it away from us with brilliant ball-striking. Even though I was in the opposi�on dugout, I couldn’t help but marvel at how he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The beauty of our franchise is that the shoulders never droop, the heads never drop. There is too much experience, quality and class among the playing group for that to happen. As members of the support staff, our endeavour is to keep the players in a good mental space. But eventually, it is the players who have to deliver on the park, and that’s what they have done in the last two games. David Warner has been outstanding. There is li�le sign that he has been out of interna�onal cricket for a year. His work ethics are exemplary, and I can see the hunger and desire in his eyes. He is striking the ball as beau�fully as ever, and there is a calmness about him that is infec�ous.
