Parimatch Asia team has released the results of its comprehensive survey “Cricket Fans Choice Survey“, which highlights fans favorite cricketers as voted by over 3,000 participants. The survey participants voted for their favorite active cricket players across several categories, sharing their opinions on a sport that holds a unique place in the nations heart. The results reflect fans sentiments regarding athletes performances and contributions to the game, as well as their character and influence off the pitch.

Athletes with the strongest connection with fans

“Cricket is not just a sport but a vital part of life and culture for millions across Asia, where approximately 90% of cricket fans reside. In India, home to one of the most powerful cricket tournaments globally, cricket holds a unique position in life and cultural identity, with athletes serving both as celebrities and role models. This deep emotional connection drives our decision to create this survey, gathering insights directly from the fans. We believe this survey will foster a richer dialogue around the sport that Asia is so passionate about,” commented the Parimatch Press Office.

Findings from the survey include:

#1 Virat Kohli edges out MS Dhoni as the favorite IPL cricketer; he also ranks highest as a favorite role model, for the most prominent on-field celebrations, and as the most popular on social media

In the battle of the two former Indian skippers, Virat Kohli edged out MS Dhoni by a 3% margin, with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru stalwart being chosen by 33% of fans as a best cricket player. Born and raised in New Delhi, Kohli became an instant fan favorite in Bengaluru after RCB signed the young batter back in 2009.

Among the fans favorite cricket players are also Sunile Narine and Nicholas Pooran, Parimatch’ ambassadors.

“Im truly honored to be recognized by the fans. Their support means the world to me, and I look forward to continuing to make them proud on and off the field,” commented Sunile Narine.

#2 Andre Russell tops the list of most interesting players to watch on the pitch

Andre Russell topped the category of ‘Most interesting player to watch on the Pitch‘ with 31% of fans’ votes. Unfortunately, the two-time ICC T20 World Cup winner won’t be part of the 2025 IPL Auction, as he has been retained by Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 12 crores.

The Caribbean all-rounder spent a couple of seasons with the Delhi Daredevils before joining the Knight Riders in 2014. The batting powerhouse made his marker in the IPL in some style winning the 2019 IPL Super Striker award along with the Player of the Tournament award for the 2019 season of the cash-rich league. In 119 matches for KKR, Russell has taken 119 wickets and scored 2426 runs at a strike rate of nearly 175.

#3 MS Dhoni: Favorite Captain, Favorite Player to Watch in High-Pressure Situations, Most Interesting Player off the field, and Most Connected with fans

Despite retiring from international cricket five years ago, in the list of favorite captains, Dhoni (48%) topped the list of favorite captains, edging out Rohit Sharma (25%). Kohli, Pat Cummins, and Pandya followed in third, fourth, and fifth place, with 17%, 15%, and 14% of fans votes, respectively. Additionally, 27% of fans believe he is the most interesting player to watch in high-pressure situations.

Notably, it’s not just Dhonis sports achievements that fans appreciate. According to the survey, 21% of fans consider him the most interesting player off the field, and 31% believe he is the most connected to fans. Beyond his on-field exploits for India and CSK in the IPL, Dhoni holds the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army. He also recently made a cameo in a Tamil-language film, bringing him closer to fans in Chennai and Tamil Nadu, who lovingly refer to him as ‘Thala.’

#4 Bhuvneshwar Edges Rahane for Most Underrated Player

In a sea of players, certain names tend to be overlooked when the discussion centers on the most popular and eye-catching stars. From the fans perspective, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ajinkya Rahane stand out as the most underrated players, earning 18% and 16% of the votes, respectively.

Both athletes have been unsung heroes of their respective sides victories in the IPL, and the stalwarts now find themselves in the fray of the mega auction after their teams opted to move on and retain a younger core of players.

#5 Jake Fraser-McGurk: Rising star for IPL 2025

IPL 2024 witnessed several young batters throw caution to the wind and redefine T20 batting, with multiple totals exceeding 265 runs. Among the rising stars, Abhishek Sharma, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Riyan Parag, Tilak Varma, and Tristan Stubbs stole the spotlight, showcasing their range of shots with impressive strike rates.

Fraser-McGurk edged out Rinku Singh by 1% to top the list of players in contention for the Next Seasons Rising Star title, securing 40% and 39% of fans votes, respectively. They are followed by Parag (26%), Varma (26%), and uncapped fast bowler Harshit Rana (22%), completing the Top 5 list. Their performances promise fans many exciting moments in the upcoming seasons.

On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), the National Awards for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities held at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, saw the launch of a nationwide accessibility audit campaign.

Launch of nationwide accessibility audit campaign, with the YestoAccess app, led by DEPwD and APD

This significant initiative, led by the Department for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) in collaboration with the Association of People with Disability (APD), was marked by the signing of an MoU between the two organizations. Alongside celebrating outstanding contributions to the empowerment of persons with disabilities, the campaign emerged as a key highlight of the event.

The campaign will be powered by APD’s YesToAccess app, India’s first-of-its-kind AI-powered tool designed for accessibility audits. The app allows anyone-persons with or without disabilities-to assess the accessibility of public spaces. By simply taking a photograph of a structure using their phone’s camera, users can analyze features such as ramps, railings, accessible toilets, tactile pathways, and clear signage. The app generates real-time accessibility scores, which are made publicly available on an interactive map, helping to identify and promote barrier-free spaces across India.

Shri. Rajesh Aggarwal, Secretary, DEPwD, highlighted the significance of the campaign, stating, “The nationwide accessibility audit campaign is a key step under the Accessible India Campaign to ensure that public spaces become more inclusive and accessible for all citizens. By leveraging technology and empowering persons with disabilities to lead these audits, we are creating a foundation for a more equitable society.”

Unlike traditional accessibility audits that rely heavily on expert teams, the YesToAccess app makes the process inclusive and scalable by encouraging participation from citizens, school children, volunteers, and organizations. The app’s AI capabilities simplify audits while ensuring accurate data collection.

Mr. Jacob Kurian, Honorary Secretary & Trustee, APD, emphasized the importance of the app, saying, “YesToAccess is a cutting edge use of AI and cameravision to solve an intractable societal problem. It is a catalyst for community action to create a public good for use by the disabled. As an accessibility solution, it enables untrained but socially conscious individuals and communities to come together to map and improve accessibility in public spaces. This campaign is about removing the barriers that prevent the disabled from participating in society as full and equal citizens of our great nation.”

This initiative aligns with the goals of the Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan), which aims to remove physical, digital, and mobility barriers for persons with disabilities across the country. By leveraging AI, community engagement, and transparent data sharing, the nationwide accessibility audit campaign takes a significant step toward making India a truly barrier-free nation.

The app is available on both Google Play Store and iOS platforms
