In recent years, the usage of social media by athletes has developed into something of an expectation, and cricket players are not an exception to this trend. Cricketers are able to voice their opinions and upload images and/or videos of themselves and their teams on social media platforms such as Instagram.
Cricket fans may then like, comment on, and share that digital content with their own circle of friends. The cricketers on Instagram who have the most followers also have a lot of people engaging with their posts.
However, some cricketers have superior social media growth and team strategies compared to their competitors. As a result, the number of encounters they have is exceptionally high.
