Chennai Super Kings may not be having the best season in TATA IPL 2026, but they continue to dominate the league in terms of fan engagement. Despite their on-field struggles, CSK is the most-watched and most-talked-about team according to Star Sports’ latest data. They have an average of 308 million viewers per match, leading the attention race ahead of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Kolkata Knight Riders. CSK also tops the list of most-talked-about teams with 22% of social conversations, closely followed by RCB. This strong fan base is attributed to their past successes, iconic players like MS Dhoni, and a passionate fan culture. The data highlights how IPL fandom now extends to both TV and social media platforms, with CSK leading in both spaces. Despite their inconsistent performance on the field, CSK’s loyal and engaged fan base continues to make them a powerhouse in the league’s attention economy.
