Year Ender 2025:With the end of the year 2025, Google has released its much-awaited list of most searched Indian personalities. The special thing of this year was that the tremendous dominance of cricket was seen on this list. While usually Bollywood stars and political figures occupy a place in Google search trends, in 2025 cricketers won on every front.
Cricketers dominate, Bollywood-politics lag behind
The brilliant performance of Indian players in international cricket, IPL and women’s cricket completely attracted the attention of the audience towards the game.

The first place in this list has been achieved by 14 year old rising star Vaibhav Suryavanshi. This young player, who hails from Bihar, made such records at a very young age, which shocked the entire country. Due to scoring the youngest century in IPL and his explosive performance at Under-19 level, Vaibhav became popular from social media to Google search.
After being selected by Rajasthan Royals in IPL, Vaibhav proved that age is just a number. His aggressive batting and confidence made him the most talked about face of 2025.
