Methodology

How the IPL audience-demand data is measured

Monthly figures are comparative search-demand estimates rather than literal fan counts. The model uses official franchise names and carefully selected common aliases, avoiding ambiguous abbreviations where necessary. Geographic layers use anchored relative search interest, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru/RCB as the comparison anchor. India state and worldwide country results are comparative interest measures, not absolute search volumes.
