Which 10 Bangladeshi players have the most followers on social media?
Fans and supporters are curious about where their favorite players are outside the professional world, what they do, and how they live their lives. Nowadays, social media is a great way to get an idea about the personal lives of star players.
Which 10 Bangladeshi players have the most followers on social media?
By looking at followers on platforms like Facebook, X, and Instagram, you can often understand a player’s popularity and the interest people have in them. You can also get an idea about the player’s ‘fanbase’. Star players also choose social media the most to communicate with their fans and followers. Like foreign players, many of Bangladeshi star players are quite active on social media. Among the social media platforms that can be followed, Facebook, Instagram, and X have the most users in Bangladesh. If the top 10 Bangladeshi athletes were chosen based on the number of followers on these three platforms, what would the list look like? Shakib Al Hasan is supposedly at the top. Shakib, once the world’s best all-rounder, emigrated after the country’s political upheaval. It is also not certain whether he will ever be able to wear the national team jersey again. However, the 38-year-old star still has the highest number of followers across Facebook, Instagram and X — 28.54 million. No one is even close to Shakib in terms of followers. Mushfiqur Rahim is in second place with 4.339 million followers less than him. Mushfiqur, known as the ‘Mr. Dependable’ of the country’s cricket, is followed by 16.515 million internet users on Facebook, Instagram and X.
Although there has been a new craze for football in the country after the debut of expatriates like Hamza Chowdhury, Shamit Som, and Fahamidul Islam in the Bangladesh national football team, cricketers are far ahead in popularity. Nine of the top ten in terms of followers are cricketers. The only sportsperson in the top ten outside of cricketers is the captain of the Bangladesh national football team, Jamal Bhuiyan. Jamal, an expatriate from Denmark, has 3.28 million followers.
Shakib or Hamza, who is the biggest star or icon in the country’s sports — such a comparison was made a few days ago. But Hamza is far behind in terms of number of followers on social media.
Hamza, who plays for English Championship club Leicester City, is followed by 2.356 million people on social media. Hamza is ranked 13th.
