Mumbai: Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Punjab Kings (PBKS) has achieved a significant milestone by ranking 4th in Google’s Top 5 Most Searched Sports Teams worldwide in 2025, making it the highest-ranked IPL team on the list.
This recognition highlights PBKS’s massive national and international fan base, strong digital engagement, and growing relevance on the global sports stage. The ranking also reflects the deep connection fans share with the team’s players, performances, and overall brand.
Commenting on this achievement, Saurabh Arora, Chief Commercial Officer, Punjab Kings, said, “This means a lot to us because it reflects what we’ve tried to build this entire year — a team and a brand people genuinely feel connected to. Our focus is always to win on the field, but what makes this journey special is that fans relate to the stories we tell, the culture we celebrate, and the identity Punjab Kings stands for.”
He added, “Being ranked among the most-searched teams globally is humbling. It tells us that people aren’t just watching us; they’re invested, curious, and emotionally tied to the team. We take that responsibility seriously and will continue creating moments, stories, and experiences that bring fans even closer to us — on and off the field.”
