The Pro Kabaddi League has become a major sporting event and one of the most popular leagues in the country. Since the inception of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), kabaddi has become a major sport and has seen a significant increase in its fan following on social media and elsewhere.

This league has revived our ancient sport and brought it back to the list of popular sports in India, and now it is poised to make a splash abroad through the World Kabaddi League. The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) is the second most popular league in the country after the Indian Premier League (IPL). Naturally, it aims to attract attention on all social media platforms.

All twelve teams have a significant number of followers on Instagram, one of the most used social media platforms in the country. While all teams have roughly equal follower numbers, the top 10 teams stand out. Let's take a look at the number of Instagram followers of the top 10 teams in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL).

Top 10 Most Followed Pro Kabaddi Teams on Instagram

10. Gujarat Giants - 288K

The Gujarat Giants failed to achieve the desired results last season and were one of the weakest teams. Just like their performance, their Instagram account has received very little response from fans. Despite the addition of fan favorite Mohammadreza Shadloui, the Giants have yet to gain a large following on Instagram, with their following still hovering under 300,000.

9. UP Yoddhas - 333K

UP Yoddha has been performing exceptionally well over the past few seasons. However, they haven't won any trophies yet. On the other hand, their social media game hasn't been particularly impressive. Their team didn't have any big names, but they've been nurturing key talent as they progress. A strong defense consisting of Sumit Sangwan, Ashu Singh, Mahender Singh, and Hitesh, along with key names like Guman Singh in the attack, could yield better results in the future.

8. Jaipur Pink Panthers - 339K

The Jaipur Pink Panthers are one of the league's most popular franchises, especially due to their association with the Bachchan family. However, their social media following is low. The two-time champions have performed well throughout the seasons, but their statistics aren't impressive. The Jaipur Pink Panthers have 339,000 followers on Instagram.

7. U Mumba – 344K

U Mumba has previously featured several veteran players, including Anup Kumar, Fazel Atrachali, Siddharth Desai, and Mohit Kumar. However, social media wasn't as popular back then. The Season 2 champion team has 344,000 followers on Instagram, and with Sunil Kumar, Ajit Chauhan, and other promising young players, that number could grow rapidly in the future.

6. Patna Pirates – 383K

Patna Pirates are the most successful team in the history of the Pro Kabaddi League. They have won the PKL trophy three times (Seasons 3, 4, and 5) and were on the verge of winning it for the fourth time in the last two seasons. Their Instagram followers don't justify their PKL record, but their consistent performances and the presence of young players like Ayan Lohchab and Navdeep could give them the following they deserve. Patna Pirates have 383,000 followers on Instagram.

5. Telugu Titans – 473K

Telugu Titans has a significant number of Instagram followers and has grown rapidly on social media over the past few months. However, it has been one of the least successful teams in the league, often finishing at the bottom.

Previously, they had players like Rahul Chaudhari, Parvesh Bhainswal, Pawan Sehrawat, Deepak Hooda, and Siddharth Desai. Now, with the addition of Vijay Malik, Shubham Shinde, Bharat Hooda, and others, their performance has improved significantly, and the impact is clearly visible on social media. Telugu Titans has 473,000 followers on Instagram.

4. Puneri Paltan – 553K

The Pro Kabaddi Season 10 champions have been performing consistently well over the past few seasons. Over the years, Paltan has built a strong fan base of 553,000 Instagram followers, and with their recent performances, this number will only continue to grow. They are performing brilliantly, and this growth in their fan base can be seen both in the stadiums and on Instagram.

3. Haryana Steelers – 556K

The Haryana Steelers, winners of Pro Kabaddi Season 11, have performed exceptionally well over the past few seasons, amassing 556,000 followers on Instagram. One of the competition's most decorated teams has once again performed exceptionally well in the PKL. Coach Manpreet Singh enjoys a strong fan following, and this is reflected in his Instagram following.

2. Tamil Thalaivas – 585K

Tamil Thalaivas is another team that hasn't won a title yet. The Thalaivas haven't performed well in recent years. However, they have a strong fan following on social media. Tamil Thalaivas has 585,000 followers on Instagram and, despite not winning a title yet, they have the second-highest fan following on Instagram, and fans are showering them with love in stadiums across the country.

1. Bengaluru Bulls – 1 Million

The Bengaluru Bulls are the most followed PKL team on Instagram and the first to cross the 1 million follower mark. With over 400,000 followers, they are far ahead of their predecessors. The Bulls won the trophy in Season 6 and are one of the league's most loved teams.

The team boasts several veteran players like Pradeep Narwal, Pawan Sehrawat, Ajay Thakur, and Rohit Kumar. The team has performed well this season, and under the stellar guidance of BC Ramesh, a young team is expected to set new benchmarks both on and off the field.
