The 18th edition of the IPL 2025 (Indian Premier League) has been underway since March 22, 2025. In every season, IPL teams gain fame either through their batting, bowling, fielding, or for various other reasons. However, another important way franchises grab attention is through their team owners.
Team owners are often present at most matches to support their sides. As a result, they also become prominent figures during the tournament, not only through their presence at games but also through their activities off the field. Many owners maintain a strong social media presence by regularly posting updates about their teams to boost the team’s and their popularity.
Several IPL team owners have become famous personalities on social media, and this list highlights those owners who are especially popular for their online presence, based on information collected from fans and also includes the writer’s opinion.
5. Sanjiv Goenka (Lucknow Super Giants)
Sanjiv Goenka, the owner of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), is a constant presence at his team’s matches, showing his active involvement and support. On social media, he has 302K followers on Instagram and 9.4K followers on X. Although he is not highly active in posting content about the team, he is often seen interacting with players after matches.
Goenka has also been at the centre of controversies during the IPL. Notably, during a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), a heated conversation between former LSG captain KL Rahul and Sanjiv Goenka went viral, sparking widespread discussion across the internet. While his personal social media presence is not massive, his actions during matches often lead to the creation of trolls and memes, making him a widely recognised figure during the IPL season.
