Neeraj Chopra and IPL were Indians' top 10 searches on Google this year

Search engine giant Google has revealed Indians’ top 10 searches on Google this year. For a cricket-loving nation like India, it is no surprise over the top search. The Indian Premier League (IPL) took the top spot followed by CoWIN, the Government of India’s portal to book slots for vaccination.

With the 13th season being ravaged by the COVID-19 virus, IPL was the talk of the town as it got postponed midway. The cash-rich league is the most talked about thing in the country and the bio bubble breach meant it trended in the nation as fans were eager to get their hand on the latest developments.

Neeraj Chopra bagged India’s maiden medal in track and field events at the Tokyo Olympics as India’s 121 year-long wait came to an end. The gold medal not only put India on the global map when it comes to javelin throw but it has also sparked a revolution in the country when it comes to track and field events.

As he went around the country attending ceremonies and functions celebrating the historic gold medal, Neeraj, who was the poster boy of Indian athletics, became one of the most sought-after personalities in the country as it celebrated his historic feat.
