Analysis of people’s perception on IPL season 7

Kudos to KKR upon winning the first game of IPL7. But, this year’s IPL will be never like any of its previous versions. When so much political drama is happening and the biggest election is undergoing back at home, this IPL may lose out on much of its attractions. Also we’re returning to a neutral venue after a long time. Since for the teams both structures and players have changed after the last IPL auction, it is difficult to say what our Cricket loving audience are expecting. Will this IPL be as hot as any of its predecessors? What will be the most trending topic this IPL? Who’re going to dominate this season? Well, it is pretty early to attempt these questions. So, let’s look at the public sentiments of #IPL7.

“What are the sentiments of masses on IPL7�?

• On a good note only 17% of posts carry negative sentiments and 35% carry positive sentiments and a whopping 48% carry neutral sentiments. The reason for neutral sentiments may be due to all the political drama that is happening and conflict of IPL schedule with the election dates.

• myRosys defines Noise as the number of time a particular keyword has been mentioned in Social Media, “more the mentions more the noise.�

• Analysis of social networks clearly showed that Twitter is the most active media with 1100+ tweets on IPL7 followed by Facebook, yahoo and GooglePlus. Googleblogs’s contribution has been minimal on this. So, most IPL viewers prefer Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo.

Longer Green Bar means more Positive sentiments while longer Red Bar means more Negative sentiments)

As evident from the graphs below, 15th and 17th April had been two most tweeted days on IPL7 as 16th April was the grand opening day. The trend on facebook and googleblogs has remained steady for past few days. Again, the trend had picked up on 17th April possibly because it was the Election Day and also because people might be busy analysing KKR vs. MI match.
