India may be four times larger than Pakistan in terms of population, but the Pakistani prime minister is still more popular than his Indian counterpart. And data released by Google proves so.

According to Google Trends, Pakistani Prime minister Imran Khan was among the five most searched international leaders attending the 74th session of United Nations General Assembly.

PM Imran Khan—who was a popular cricketer who took Pakistan to World Cup glory before entering politics—was the second most searched UNGA leader on Google, beating Narendra Modi by three spots. Only US President Donald Trump ranked above Imran Khan.

Imran Khan even beat British Prime Boris Johnson, who was on third place.

Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro, who has come under fire from environmental groups for not doing enough to protect the Amazon rainforest, was on fourth place.

India's Narendra Modi was the fifth most searched among the international leaders who are attending the UNGA.

Prime Minister Imran Khan is slated to address the UN General Assembly session on September 27.
