Check out the most popular Asian sports team in March 2023 on Twitter as CSK beats Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr
There is no need to explain why football has such a large global following.
However, football is more less popular in some areas of Asia than cricket because cricket is considered to be nothing less than a religion in the majority of the largest continent.
There is no denying the ardent love that fans have for players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but a recent study reveals that football is still second in popularity only to cricket.
The mercurial MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are more popular on Twitter than Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi Arabian football club Al-Nassr, according to a recent report from Deportes & Finanzas that examined the number of Twitter interactions of sports teams worldwide for the month of March 2023.
CSK is the most well-liked Asian sports organisation, surpassing Al-Nassr, who rose to fame outside by signing Ronaldo, one of the greatest players in football history.
The other two teams that make up the top five Asian teams on Twitter are Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI).

It comes as no surprise that CSK is more well-known than Cristiano Ronaldo’s team.
One of the most well-known personalities in India, the country with the greatest population in the world, is Dhoni, a legend of Indian cricket.
CSK, the most well-known sports team in India, is led by Dhoni. CSK’s victory over Al-Nassr may be ascribed to the IPL 2023 fervour that has swept through India like a hurricane.
Despite the growing popularity of the Saudi Pro League and Cristiano Ronaldo’s participation in it, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s popularity knows no bounds.
The cricketing legend’s billion-strong global fan base reaches the heavens in the Indian Premier League, which is currently in its 16th season.
