Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises Punjab Kings (PBKS) The Indian Premier League (IPL) has achieved a significant global feat by ranking fourth in Google's list of the top 5 most searched sports teams worldwide in 2025, becoming the highest ranked IPL team in the list.
The achievement underlines the team's huge national and international fan base, strong digital engagement and growing relevance on the global sporting stage. The rankings also reflect fans' deep connection with the team's players, performance and overall brand.
“It means a lot to us because it reflects what we have tried to build throughout this year – a team and a brand that people really feel connected to. Our focus is always to win on the field, but what makes this journey special is that fans connect with the stories we tell, the culture we celebrate and the identity of Punjab Kings,” said Saurabh Arora, Chief Commercial Officer, PBKS.
Arora said, “It's humbling to be one of the most searched-for teams globally. It tells us that people aren't just watching us; they're invested, curious and emotionally connected with the team. We take that responsibility seriously and will continue to create moments, stories and experiences that bring fans even closer to us on and off the field.”

While the primary parameter for Google to determine the top-search list is the total number of searches for the term over a specific period, consistency is also an important factor, with a major spike not making much difference in the rankings. Additionally, geographical spread is also taken into account, ensuring that a term searched across regions/countries ranks higher than a term popular only in one location.
