Pakistan Cricket Team tops Google search charts

[aukhan]

Pakistan have topped the chart of most searched teams playing in the ongoing ICC World Cup despite not performing well, a latest study by global online giant Google said.“Despite two humiliating defeats against India and the West Indies, Pakistan team still continues to dominate search influence and continues to remain the most searched team in the tournament,” Google said in the study.
Pakistan are closely followed by India, West Indies, England and Australia as the other most searched teams in Google search.

The analysis of online trends shows that among the minnows, Afghanistan lead in global search interest and are followed by Bangladesh, Ireland and United Arab Emirates.

Google said the searches are not just limited to performance, fans are also obsessed about physical characteristics of players.

“Indian fans searched online for the exact height of Pakistan pacer Mohammad Irfan and globally fans searched for information around James Taylor’s height.

The search query, “How tall is James Taylor” peaked forty times higher than before as Taylor made his appearance on the field,” it added.

Also, Indian Vice-Captain Virat Kohli’s hair style has seen a huge spike in terms of online search queries since the beginning of this World Cup, the trends showed.

Google said Chris Gayle, who scored a double-ton in this World Cup, is the most searched West Indian player for both his athletic and artistic talents but apparently “Chris Gayle Dance” is something the South Asian fans just love searching for.

“Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene caught the fancy of the fans when his bat broke into two pieces while facing a delivery against Afghanistan pacer Shapoor Zadran, driving an immediate spike in global search interest,” it added.

The study of the trends further depicted that after Sachin Tendulkar was caught taking a selfie during India’s match with South Africa, searches for him crossed those for both Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli who were battling it outin the middle.

Wow - we do make records dont we

 

[Major]

wow, never knew that he was that short

I wish we get to play England in the quaters, would love to see him play Irfan. Every ball would be a height length wide

 

[Cricoholic]

Not possible for us to play England in the quarters.

If England make it they will come 4th for sure and play number 1 team from our group which is most likely India.

If we make it we are looking at playing either New Zealand or Australia depending on if we come 3rd or 4th.

The most searched term on Google in the UK in 2019 was the Rugby World Cup

Google has released its search trends for 2020

The top search was, of course, coronavirus - and that drove people to flock to Google search to make sense of the changes to their lives and adapt to new ways of living.

1. Who won the election?
2. Where does vanilla flavouring come from?
3. How many cases of coronavirus in UK?

India loves cricket and this has been proven yet again as the Indian Premier League (IPL) beat even the coronavirus for the top trending query overall in the year, according to Google India’s ‘Year In Search 2020’ announced on Wednesday.

Last year, the top trending query on Google Search was ‘ICC Cricket World Cup’.

IPL, which was also the most searched sporting and news event, was followed by the coronavirus, US election results, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sammann Nidhi (PM Kisan Scheme), Bihar election results and Delhi election results in the overall top trending query on the search engine giant Google.

The 13th edition of IPL, which due to the COVID-19 outbreak was held in the UAE from September 19 to November 10, witnessed a record-breaking 28 per cent increase in viewership compared to the last edition.

The Nirbhaya case, lockdown, India-China skirmishes and Ram Mandir made it to the top 10 among the most searched news events by Indians, according to the list. UEFA Champion League, English Premier League, French Open and La Liga were among the most searched sporting events.

Topping the list of the most searched personalities was US President-elect Joe Biden followed by journalist Arnab Goswami -- who made headlines after his arrest by the Maharashtra police for the alleged abetment of suicide of interior designer Anvay Naik and his mother Kumud -- and singer Kanika Kapoor.

North Korea leader Kim Jong Un and veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan were at the fourth and fifth spot, respectively. The list also included actress Kangana Ranaut, Rhea Chakraborty and Ankita Lokhande.

While “Dil Bechara” by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput occupied the top spot for the most searched movie, topping the list of TV/Web series was Netflix’s Spanish crime drama “Money Heist”.

“Dil Bechara” was followed by Suriya-starrer Tamil movie “Soorarai Pottru”, Ajay Devgn starrer “Tanhaji” and biopics made on the lives and times of women extraordinaire Shakuntla Devi and Gunjan Saxena.

For TV/Web series, the most searched after “Money Heist” were Sony Liv’s smashing hit “Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story”, story of the one of the biggest financial scams in the Indian stock market, reality show Bigg Boss 14, Amazon Prime’s “Mirzapur 2” and “Paatal Lok”.

It also witnessed a wide range of queries in its “How to” section, where questions like “How to make paneer”, “How to increase immunity”, “How to make Dalgona Coffee”, “How to link Pan card with Aadhaar card” and “How to make sanitizer at home” dominated the Google charts.

Among the most searched terms, majority of Indians wanted to know “What was coronavirus”, followed by a battery of questions like “What is Binod”, “What is COVID-19”, “What is Plasma Therapy”, “What is CAA”.

For Google’s ‘Near Me’ feature that helps locate places of interest near your location, the top queries revolved around food shelters, COVID-19 tests, cracker shops, liquor shops and night shelters.
