As 2024 comes to a close, Google has revealed the list of the most searched Indian personalities throughout the year. A total of 5 sportspersons made it to the list, including 3 cricketers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, prominent Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were absent from the list. Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya emerged as the most searched cricketer in India in 2024. He is the fourth most searched personality in India as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This rise in popularity comes mainly due to the all-rounder’s divorce with ex-wife Natasa Stankovic, which ended their four-year marriage. The topic attracted massive attention through the internet during the whole year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pandya also made headlines earlier this year when he was subjected to sharp criticism by fans after he was made Mumbai Indians’ skipper over Rohit Sharma for IPL 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other cricketers in the list include youngsters Shashank Singh (6th) and Abhishek Sharma (9th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
