Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) may have failed to qualify for the IPL 2020 final, but the Indian captain still dominated the Twitter world in the month of October.

In a list released by Twitteet, a social media analytics firm, Kohli topped the chart with 24, 65, 918 Twitter engagements in October. The RCB skipper ranked third among the Indian celebrities. Prime Minister Narendra Modi (72, 15,913) heads the list followed by Rahul Gandhi (35, 53,825).

“The IPL was the flavour of the season for cricketers where expectedly India captain and expectant father Virat Kohli topped Twitter engagement with 2.4 million engagements. Suresh Raina was at #2 with 1.9 million engagements,” said a press release by Twitteet.

“Former stars Sachin Tendulkar at #3, Harbhajan Singh at #5, and Virendra Sehwag at #6, actively engage with fans and followers on Twitter with 1.5 million; 6.8 lakh and 6.3 lakh engagements. Aakash Chopra, now a commentator is also hugely popular and ranks #4 with over 9.65 lakh engagements on Twitter in October.”

Interestingly, MS Dhoni, who led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2020, did not feature in top 6 as he “was completely inactive on Twitter in October despite more than 8.1 million followers.”

Olympic medallist Vijender Singh had the most engagement among athletes outside cricket, with 4.27 lakh engagements last month.

Surprisingly, the No. 2 spot was occupied by the 88-year old Dadi Chandro Tomar, a veteran shooter on whose life a Hindi movie was made.

“She was at #2 in the non-cricket sports category with a phenomenal 2.84 lakh engagements leaving superstars like Saina Nehwal, Babita Phogat and Jwala Gutta behind,” added the release.
