Though, a lot of the talk before and during the tournament surrounded around the return of MS Dhoni, it was the RCB skipper – Virat Kohli who was the most tweeted about player during this season.

CSK also dominated the most used hashtags list with three of their hashtags, #Whistlepodu, #CSK and #Yellove taking up the second, third and fourth place in the most tweeted hashtags.
