Cricket Hashtags
Most popular #cricket hashtags for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Select any tags and copy them.
Quick answer: The best cricket hashtags name the format and the moment: #ipl, #t20cricket, #testcricket, #gullycricket or #coverdrive, with one broad tag like #cricket. Instagram caps posts and Reels at 5 hashtags, so choose the format and team or skill instead of stacking #cricketlover variations. Use the official tournament tag during big events.

About #cricket content
Cricket fandom on Instagram moves with the calendar: franchise leagues like the IPL bring team rivalries and match-night edits, international series bring national pride, and Test cricket has its own loyal, detail-loving audience. Alongside the pros, there's a huge grassroots scene of gully cricket, club matches, school teams and players filming nets sessions.
Tag by format (IPL, T20, ODI, Test), team or country and content type (batting tip, bowling action, fan reaction, local match). Tournament hashtags change each season, so check what the official league and team accounts are using rather than reusing last year's tag. As with other sports, broadcast footage is usually protected by copyright, so your own videos and original commentary are safer.
Tips for tagging Cricket posts
- Check the official league, board and team accounts before a series for their current hashtag; tournament tags change from season to season.
- Use your own footage from nets, local matches or the stands. Broadcast clips are frequently removed after copyright reports.
- Keep fan rivalry friendly. Abuse aimed at players or rival fans can break Instagram's bullying rules; see our Community Guidelines explainer.
- Don't use betting or fantasy promotion tags on fan or coaching content; our reported restricted hashtags list covers risky tag types.
- With the 5-hashtag cap, one format tag plus one team tag often beats three generic cricket-lover tags.
Hashtags to avoid
| Hashtag | Why skip it |
|---|---|
#crickethighlightsfull | Signals reuploaded broadcast footage, which is commonly removed for copyright. |
#cricketbetting | Linked to gambling promotions and spam; betting content faces restrictions and legal limits in many countries. |
#livecricketstream | Associated with unauthorized streams and scam links. |
#like4like | Engagement-bait tag; attracts bots and signals low quality. |

#cricket hashtag FAQs
Which hashtags should I use during the IPL?
Use #ipl or the league's current official hashtag, your franchise's official tag and one content tag such as a match reaction or player edit. Check official accounts at the start of each season since promoted tags can change.
What is gully cricket and should I tag it?
Gully cricket is informal street or backyard cricket, often with a tennis ball and house rules. If your video shows that kind of match, #gullycricket and #streetcricket reach people who love that style.
Can I post match highlights on Instagram?
Broadcast highlights are owned by rights holders and are often removed. Post your own clips, reactions filmed by you or original analysis instead.
