5 most followed cricketers on Twitter

4) Suresh Raina

Raina has more followers than all current cricketers barring Virat Kohli

9,735,216 followers

Suresh Raina may not have played an ODI since October 2015 but he is fourth on this list as he is a quintessential modern cricketer, who keeps his fans updated on his whereabouts. Closing in on becoming one of only four cricketers with over 10 million followers, the southpaw is certainly extremely popular on Twitter.

Despite being the second-last cricketer on this list to join Twitter, he still has more tweets than the top two on this list and only Virender Sehwag has more Tweets than Raina of the cricketers on this list.

While the time Raina has spent on the field might be minimal, he will be hoping to play more and keep his loyal fans happy. If he returns back to the Indian limited-overs set-up for the upcoming series against Australia and New Zealand, he will certainly move higher on this list.
