North-East states have dominated the low-interest scores (less than 25). Mizoram (6) has the lowest score in Indian sub-regions, followed by Manipur (16) and Meghalaya (22). Kerala (24), Delhi (21) and Chandigarh (21) also have yielded a low percentage of IPL searches among their users.

Among the cities, Paradeep and Angul in Odisha have got the highest number of IPL searches. The city of Ambur in Tamil Nadu sits third on the list.

In terms of the sub-regions consisting of IPL teams, Royal Challengers Bangalore's home state Karnataka (51) leads the list, followed by Kolkata Knight Riders' West Bengal (49) and Gujarat Titans' home state Gujarat (48).
