Pakistan v South Africa and Shoaib Malik the most Google searched items in Pakistan in 2021

[MenInG]

Google on Wednesday released its annual lists detailing the most searched trends, athletes and moves and TV shows in Pakistan during 2021. To no one's surprise, the nation's cricket fever continued unabated, much like 2018, 2019 and 2020.

According to Google, the annual lists are based on search terms that had the highest spike this year compared to the previous year.

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, and a barrage of new variants, major cricketing events such as the Men's T20 World Cup and the Indian Premier League went ahead. The year also saw Pakistan beat India in a World Cup fixture for the first time.

For these reasons, and for many more, all ten of the top searches for 2021 were cricket-related, while all the most-searched athletes were cricketers.


The following are Google's top trends for 2020 in the Searches, Athletes, and Movies & TV categories:

Searches

Pakistan vs South Africa was the most at the top of the list. Earlier this year, the latter arrived in Karachi to play two Tests and three Twenty20 internationals on their first tour of Pakistan in 14 years. In February, Pakistan managed to win its first Test series against South Africa since 2003.

Pakistan vs South Africa
Pakistan vs West Indies
Pakistan Super League
Pakistan vs England
T20 World Cup
Pakistan vs Zimbabwe
India vs England
Pakistan vs England
Pakistan vs New Zealand
Pakistan vs Australia


Athletes

All-rounder Shoaib Malik was the most searched athlete by Pakistanis in 2021 for a praise-worthy performance in the T20 World Cup. The cricketer and his wife, tennis star Sania Mirza, are also slated to host a talk show.

Shoaib Malik
Asif Ali
Fakhar Zaman
Shaheen Afridi
Hasan Ali
Mohammad Rizwan
Shadab Khan
Abid Ali
Danish Aziz
Haris Rauf

Movies and TV

Blood, violence, animatronic dolls and subtitles did not deter Pakistanis as Netflix's mega-hit 'Squid Game' was the most googled in the movies and TV category. Surprisingly, Mahira Khan's 'Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay' was nowhere on the list while Khuda Aur Mohabbat starring Feroze Khan and Iqra Aziz came in second.

Squid Game
Khuda Aur Mohabbat
Chupke Chupke
Rang Mahal
Radhe
Bigg Boss 15
Money Heist
Ertugrul
Black Widow
Eternals

DAWN

Too many people still falling in love with useless Shoaib Malik. He should be forced to retire, but wont, very sadly

Man do people in Pakistan also watch this show.. It is an absolute trash and a bakwas show.

 

[Hyder]

I searched him thrice to see his avg in his austrailia where he is planning to play wc

 

[Kaddy]

I thought currently Babar Azam is the most popular Pakistani cricketer

 

[Sir-fraz]

The reason being people still cant believe hes in the team they jave to make sure there eyes not not playing tricks. Multiple searches are warrented lmao..

He shouldve been gone after the t20 WC.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shoaib Mailk!

That was unexpected.

I thought it would be Imran Khan or Shahid Afridi.

 

[cricketerB94]

Understandable. Pakistan's middle order was performing badly before T20 worldcup this whole year, and Shoaib Malik's demand was high as a middle order batter.
