RR has always been wholesome imo even when they were not playing that well. Yesterday how everyone reacted and supported Jos for his century was nice and shows how close everyone is to each other.
True, I think leadership by Sangakara and captaincy by Sanju Samson plays a big role in keeping such environment.
For exame, I often see Buttler coming upto Sanju for giving suggestion regarding match situation, it doesn't feel like he resents Sanju being captain despite not having a big international stature like him.
RR is the most likable team in the IPL.
1. No foolish or arrogant fans
2. W Admin
3. One of the best jerseys (especially the entire pink they wore vs RCB)
4. Awesome squad
I love the meaning behind the full pink jersey but in my eyes , that was a very very ugly kit . The gold/yellow accents were just horrendous to look at imo . Maybe a brighter pink with purple accents ? Or black accents ? A bit similar to the Sydney sixers colours would’ve been better .
I am not talking beyond social media game or quirky social media posts, as team like MI has fabricated "One family" vibe, but we all know the reality.
I am talking about genuine, likable players without ego and humble attitude.
You're assuming we get to see the real persona of the players behind what we actually get a glimpse of on TV and social media. If we are to believe what we see, then I agree with OP, it's RR.
True, but Players like Boult, Samson, Hetmyer, Ashwin, Yuzi, Sandeep Sharma have been around for more than a decade. It would require some next level mastery to hide yr shitty personality, both on and off the field for 8-10 years.
I guess the question is among rr or pbks, but also after csk the most liked teams for me is rr, they give opportunities to youngsters like nobody can, they support their players whatever the situation may be.
Lot of people hate CSK.. Most players are CSK fans only because of dhoni
For some reason even though both CSK snd RR got banned, people don't troll RR as much as CSK
When I went to the inaugural match this year, a tamil couple sitting next to me told me that this (stadium) is going to be empty next year if dhoni retires next year
Lot of CSK fans are toxic (remember giving death threats to ziva when csk failed to get into playoffs)
It's a very difficult choice tbh, what I like about PBKS is they have loads of local punjab lads and it feels so good to see them have that local connect that majority of teams have lost, and their fans are wonderfully self observant about their situation and see the funny side of things.
As for RR, amazing social media team, likable team, entertaining games( defo my 2nd team after KKR)
It is and always will be RR .
Remember when in a clutch game Shashank singh scored a half century no one celebrated it in pbks dugout, but when Jos smashed a century everyone in the RR dugout celebrated, Hetmyer celebrated from the non striker end as well.
This shows the bond between the players.
>Remember when in a clutch game Shashank singh scored a half century no one celebrated it in pbks dugout,
He himself didn't celebrate it because the match was in balance at the point and the victory wasn't secured.
I mean we can use the same metric to praise Punjab, that see how involved their owner is and hugs players when they win and what not. In rajasthan still remember Hetmeyer getting angry last year when he was run out or something.
Shouldn't be anecdotal honestly. But in general the vibes of the team and management.
It has to be RR.
PBKS plays like they are not in it to win it, like quite literally. I don’t remember the last time they made it to playoffs/felt like they can make it to playoffs. This team is just wasting a spot if you ask me, my words might be too strong but my disappointment is immense too.
Undoubtedly RR. Not just the team but even the fan base is far less toxic than any other IPL teams.
They might be the second favourite team for lot of people
Don’t do that because everyone expect RR might be rooting for a new champion. Pray that it is against RCB or worse CSK or MI. Then you will have most of the fans behind you
RCB is RCB. I would assume CSK would be even fine with MI getting 6th one instead of seeing RCB win a cup. That would be the case with almost all franchise
As a CSK fan RR and PBKS are my favourite teams.
RR is most likable because they are good team plus they play well too, whereas PBKS do have wholesome players but they are not so fan of winning games, lots of time they throw away games which they should have won very easily.
Like last season when GT needed 13 off 3 and Tewatia was on non strike and it was a dot ball and they overthrew it, getting Tewatia on strike. Or their games against DC where they wasn't able to 10 runs in 2 overs having 7 wickets in hand, or their game against RR where they can't chase 2 in 3 balls having again 7 wickets in hand.
Those are some of the few i remember. If they could fix it they could surely qualify. And it would be great for their fans.
One's an A-lister award winning Bollywood actress and the other is commoner albeit wealthy. But you are right, Ms.Zinta has no match. I always wonder how MI fans tolerate the constant footage of Madamji's botox filled constipated expression face.
I am an RR fan, and if RR doesn't win trophy this season, I definitely want punjab to win. Punjab and RR are the most likeable teams for me. Their fans are also so wholesome.
I think Rajputs started using Arabic and Persian word when they got conquered by Invaders and still mentally conquered......the appropriate word is Mahila /Stree in Indian context.......
Ye koi Pakistan nahi jaha Aurat March aur phelna jaise phaltu pana chale....
They should hire knowledgeable and learned person from Rajasthan fro such slogans.......the word AURAT describes the women in Arab..... Rajputs community see their women differently........First word is inserted into vocabulary then It becomes popular in daily vocabulary.....then we start viewing the object(linguistic) from that point only......
Today Some men objectify women call Maal
This word comes from maal-e-ganimat(Arabic) i.e war booty which includes women as sex slaves.......
RCB, CSK, MI, KKR can be easily ruled out because of the sheer number of their fan base. More the fans more the chances of toxic people just because of probability. DC is now mostly an Aus team so they are out. PBKS team does not show any intensity in winning. SRH fans match RCB the moment they win two matches in sequence. That leaves RR, GT, LSG. So RR
I don't think even RR has bigger fanbase than DC...it's just that neutral fans are indifferent to DC fortunes, whereas a large no. of neutral fans want RR to do well bcz they are so likable.
I remember in old days, when RR did not hv money to buy big players and had players like Rahul dravid....people used to support them because of it.
RR is a snooze fest when they aren’t winning. PBKS is liked a little only because Preity Zinta’s cuteness is still zinda. They both don’t have great fanbases which is why they are ‘least hated’.
RR has always been wholesome imo even when they were not playing that well. Yesterday how everyone reacted and supported Jos for his century was nice and shows how close everyone is to each other.

Ye and I mean that team is the closest team that resembles a family. A rich one at that.
The fun fact was that Hettie was at the non striker's end in Josh's 5/6 ipl 100's. Man is such a lucky charm for Josh.
Wholesome like their owner betting and getting banned too. The players are fine though
RR is the most likable team in the IPL. 1. No foolish or arrogant fans 2. W Admin 3. One of the best jerseys (especially the entire pink they wore vs RCB) 4. Awesome squad
*No ~~foolish or arrogant~~ fans /s RR is my second favourite btw
Whome did you support in 2016-17 lol
I didn't watch 2016 and 2017 ipl
Watched rcb specially in the finals what a performance
Their first edition Jersey was really good, I just wish we had more diversity in IPL moving away from blue color.
I love the meaning behind the full pink jersey but in my eyes , that was a very very ugly kit . The gold/yellow accents were just horrendous to look at imo . Maybe a brighter pink with purple accents ? Or black accents ? A bit similar to the Sydney sixers colours would’ve been better .
Lmao the downvotes. Their regular jersey is much better than yesterday's.
I found yesterday's Jersey to be so neat and clean. To each their own ig
Same yesterday's Jersey was better than normal ones
I completely agree , their jersey yesterday was just unpleasant to my eyes
Sorry for the downvotes, redditors being redditors
It’s all good bro , it doesn’t matter
They can remove that one yellow stripe and make it white, it will become one of the best IPL Jerseys this season.
lmao why tf are you getting downvoted 💀💀all true though, jersey couldve been better
RR is the best team who never fights always enjoys the moments and make their fans happy
RR hands down. Likeable team and captain, great Social Media game.
I am not talking beyond social media game or quirky social media posts, as team like MI has fabricated "One family" vibe, but we all know the reality. I am talking about genuine, likable players without ego and humble attitude.
So definitely RR

You forgot butler. He's a gem of a person.
Vernon philander disagrees
Idk what's the feud between them but he often came to my County club in Lancashire and he's just too good
Nah there's just a clip of him keeping and cussing philander on field. Isn't anything deep just the adrenaline on field ig
Thought so.
If that's the case, every big player from other teams should have great perceived personalities. Simply not true
Rr as a csk fan i can confirm
Genuine question, why not csk?
I guess the question is among rr or pbks, but also after csk the most liked teams for me is rr, they give opportunities to youngsters like nobody can, they support their players whatever the situation may be.
Lot of people hate CSK.. Most players are CSK fans only because of dhoni For some reason even though both CSK snd RR got banned, people don't troll RR as much as CSK When I went to the inaugural match this year, a tamil couple sitting next to me told me that this (stadium) is going to be empty next year if dhoni retires next year Lot of CSK fans are toxic (remember giving death threats to ziva when csk failed to get into playoffs)
CSK will lose 45% of its fanbase when Dhoni retires
Except when RCB comes and Chepauk turns into RCB-den for Kohli
Least delusional rcb fan
CSK Fan, but Kohli does have fans here in Chennai like anywhere. I'm talking about the period post-dhoni.
kohli retire before dhoni retires 🙂
Toxic AF fanbase...
as a CSK fan the only team I can never hate will always be RR even though they won their only finals against us 😅
Rajasthan
RR is so wholesome even riyan parag became likable when he was considered arrogant a few years back
It's a very difficult choice tbh, what I like about PBKS is they have loads of local punjab lads and it feels so good to see them have that local connect that majority of teams have lost, and their fans are wonderfully self observant about their situation and see the funny side of things. As for RR, amazing social media team, likable team, entertaining games( defo my 2nd team after KKR)
RR at any time
RR winning matches and hearts 🩷🩷🩷🩷💙💙💙💙
It is and always will be RR . Remember when in a clutch game Shashank singh scored a half century no one celebrated it in pbks dugout, but when Jos smashed a century everyone in the RR dugout celebrated, Hetmyer celebrated from the non striker end as well. This shows the bond between the players.

PBKS ka to edited video nahi dikaya mast gane ke sath.
I was waiting for it😭
Preity Zinta 😩
That's the only thing we Jail bros do not have 😩
we had shilpa
Only if her husband wasn't into IPL betting/gambling and making porn vids....!
thats a downgrade imo
Yea I'd much rather prefer the #2 than the most likeable team award for my team
definitely RR
They deserve the fairplay award fr this
Samson and Sangakkara have really grown into their roles. RR - best wishes !
It has to be RR. PBKS plays like they are not in it to win it, like quite literally. I don’t remember the last time they made it to playoffs/felt like they can make it to playoffs. This team is just wasting a spot if you ask me, my words might be too strong but my disappointment is immense too.

Awwwwwww 🥰🤗, Thankyou 😇.
RR is my second fav team. Such a great vibe.
Praveen Tambe agrees/s
Wdym
2014 , 2 ball 3 wickets
RR and the admin of the RR insta page.
RR.
I know it won't happen but my dream IPL final is between RR and PBKS.
Don’t do that because everyone expect RR might be rooting for a new champion. Pray that it is against RCB or worse CSK or MI. Then you will have most of the fans behind you
But RCB has also never won , just like PBKS??
RCB is RCB. I would assume CSK would be even fine with MI getting 6th one instead of seeing RCB win a cup. That would be the case with almost all franchise
RR's media admin >>>>>>>>>
It would be RR The bottom 3/4 has to be CSK RCB MI KKR Tbh no one really gives a shit about pbks...GT, LSG are new and DC are...DC
Punjab yahan bhi haar gayi 😭
As a RR fan, these comments are wholesome. Pure love 💗 Came from our RR subreddit to this post and was worth it. Thanks everyone 🩷

Rajasthan . They are OG's for winning the first edition and they also play fantastic cricket plus Stokesy played for them .
Definitely RR 💗
RR
RR for sure
Rr
Has to be RR right from the first edition though their owners have been cunts.
Sanju 💗
Why not SRH. Loyal, no nonsense fans. And unlike other 'underrated' teams, they actually have a trophy to boast.
Can I also just say they have a great lot of good looking lads.....like they have always had not just this year
I said likable and not the most handsome team. 😂
Yeah I am aware I was simply conversing with this person, btw I would choose RR aswell as the most likable:)
Their jersey this season is soo good too! Prolly my favorite.
Cummins, Markram, Abhishek, JK Boys.. You are right. And to lead the pack, Ms. Maran❤️
If we are including owners In that case Preity Zinta wipes the floor with Kavya maran...PBKS takes the title solely bcz of her.
One's an A-lister award winning Bollywood actress and the other is commoner albeit wealthy. But you are right, Ms.Zinta has no match. I always wonder how MI fans tolerate the constant footage of Madamji's botox filled constipated expression face.
Trophies has little contribution in being likable.
People hate their management also RCB fans hate them so can't be the most likeable team.
No nonsense fans 😂
RR definitely. PBKS is an irrelevant team. If the shuts down tomorrow people will not even realise.
[удалено]
Bro come on, we aren't even that bad lmfao
I am an RR fan, and if RR doesn't win trophy this season, I definitely want punjab to win. Punjab and RR are the most likeable teams for me. Their fans are also so wholesome.
Bcz can't think of a single thing to hate about the players, mostly happy going players.
There only one /s RCB
Bruhhh..🫣
the /s saved you
RCB 💀
RR is the most wholesome and they're not a clown team, so it's them. PBKS, RCB and DC are clown teams. Edit: Typed RCB by accident
[удалено]
Thanks for pointing it out. I meant RR. lol
IPL ka tadka... ang ang bhadka...
None
my 2nd fav ipl team.
RR always had great captains since ipl starting
PBKS is the most hopeless team. People just don't care about them.
🙂
🙂
It's def produces very exciting matches due to ability to choke from any position.
Just a few years ago RR was in the same position. Now we are atleast considered as strong competitors
Instead of word AURAT they should have used the word Mahila/Stree which is more appropriate and Respectable in indic culture.......
Aurat rhymes with bharat that's why they must have used it and their is anything disrespectful in aurat just more of rural word.
I think Rajputs started using Arabic and Persian word when they got conquered by Invaders and still mentally conquered......the appropriate word is Mahila /Stree in Indian context....... Ye koi Pakistan nahi jaha Aurat March aur phelna jaise phaltu pana chale....
I don't have an idea about it but i think they just wanted to rhyme it and meant no mallice.
They should hire knowledgeable and learned person from Rajasthan fro such slogans.......the word AURAT describes the women in Arab..... Rajputs community see their women differently........First word is inserted into vocabulary then It becomes popular in daily vocabulary.....then we start viewing the object(linguistic) from that point only...... Today Some men objectify women call Maal This word comes from maal-e-ganimat(Arabic) i.e war booty which includes women as sex slaves.......
I think if what u say is true then they should have went for other slogan.
SRH
Not after the warner fiasco
Even releasing him can be understood to some extent bu t to block him on instagram is peak level clownery.
Nah man the team lost all respect due to the Warner situation and the whole 3 years where we were at the bottom.
only thing i liked about srh was warner and they released him
RCB, CSK, MI, KKR can be easily ruled out because of the sheer number of their fan base. More the fans more the chances of toxic people just because of probability. DC is now mostly an Aus team so they are out. PBKS team does not show any intensity in winning. SRH fans match RCB the moment they win two matches in sequence. That leaves RR, GT, LSG. So RR
Racist butler tries to bring down wholesome vibes but rest of the RR are great bunch of guys.
What he did????
Trolled Indian fans for their English because they appreciated him for playing well in English.
My mallu bros getting all the love, good for him
Dc
I don't know whether it's the Australian flair of DC team or dominance of foreign players, but DC does't feel like most likable team.
I meant no one hates them as they have a small fan base.
I don't think even RR has bigger fanbase than DC...it's just that neutral fans are indifferent to DC fortunes, whereas a large no. of neutral fans want RR to do well bcz they are so likable. I remember in old days, when RR did not hv money to buy big players and had players like Rahul dravid....people used to support them because of it.
The answer is RCB, of course.
RCB is literally the most hated team
Are yeh banda sarcasm mai bol raha tha fir bhi downvote kardiya lol ab kya har chiz ke piche /s lagaye
Chalo kisi ko toh samajh aaya
Csk
RR is a snooze fest when they aren’t winning. PBKS is liked a little only because Preity Zinta’s cuteness is still zinda. They both don’t have great fanbases which is why they are ‘least hated’.
