Virat Kohli's men have perhaps the most passionate supporters of any IPL franchise. The fans continue to back their team irrespective of how they are performing on the field.

With a lineup that looks significantly more settled, 2020 may well be the year the fans are finally rewarded for their perseverance.

The men may be far from the loud cheers of the Eden Gardens, but their large Twitter fanbase has ensured that their support is felt.

The two-time champions last won the IPL in 2014, and they would feel it is time to make it a trifecta. Having added international stars like Eoin Morgan and Pat Cummins to their already formidable roster, KKR will fancy their chances this season.

2. Mumbai Indians: 5.8 Million followers

The defending champions have arguably the most star-studded lineup among any of the eight teams. Mumbai Indians will be hoping to break the odd-year jinx and secure their fifth IPL title this year.

Despite usually being slow starters, Mumbai Indians have managed to win three out of their first five games in Dream 11 IPL. With 5.8 million fans watching their every movement, Mumbai Indians will be eager to impress.

1. Chennai Super Kings: 6 million followers

Despite being defunct for two whole years, the Chennai Super Kings still lead the pack for the largest fan-following on Twitter.

Chennai Super Kings have held on to their core group of players season after season. MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Faf du Plessis, and Dwayne Bravo are some of the megastars who would look out of place anywhere other than the Chennai camp.

This seems to have helped the franchise ensure the fans feel more connected to the team, and thus, they are at the top of the rankings for most Twitter followers for IPL teams.
