IPL 2010 Report: Detailed Analysis by iDubba
1. Team popularity Index-
Step 1: Percentage of SMS alerts set against each team
In the above graph Y-Axis is the percentage of alerts which were set for individual teams on iDubba. From the graph it’s apparent that ‘Mumbai Indians’ is the favourite team of TV viewers and is way ahead from its first competitor ‘Deccan Chargers’. ‘Deccan Chargers’, ‘Kolkata Knight Riders’ and ‘Delhi Daredevils’ got similar number of SMS alerts set against them. IPL 2008 champions ‘Rajasthan Royals’ is the least preferred Team for setting alerts.
Step 2: Number of Players from each team for whom SMS alert is set
Data shows that ‘Mumbai Indians’ players are most popular. It’s not just about Sachin, in fact total players for whom SMS alerts are set for Mumbai are a whopping 19. That means most of the players enjoy a great deal of Fan following. It’s clear that non-performers like Sehwag etc have a major effect on any team’s non-popularity. Delhi Daredevil’s has not got a single player against whom SMS alert is set.
Step 3: Percentage of total alerts set for players in each team
Step 4: Calculating Team Popularity Index

Not much change in the top 3 list. But ‘Delhi Daredevils’ suddenly moves to last position just because its players are not generating any interest among users. ‘Rajasthan Royals’ moves to a respectable 5th position and surprisingly ‘Kings XI Punjab’ even with their dismal performance till now has managed 4th position.
