Sentiment Analysis applying the Big 5 and Polarity on the ICC’s Top ODI All-Rounders based on Twitter

Abstract

The study aims to employ sentiment analysis on Twitter data to determine the behavioral aspects of the ICC(International Cricket Council)’ s top-ranked ODI male all-rounders. The majority of the sportsmen share their thoughts and personal life events on social media platforms like Twitter. We identify some similarities and differences on several sentiment parameters. In addition, we present some insights into sentiments via some multidimensional analyses. Furthermore, the dispositions of those players are being studied and retained for future references, and a systematic way is being explored with a view to examining cricketers’ Twitter activities. This research includes a total of 56889 tweets from the verified Twitter account of 26 ODI all-rounders. We use the Big 5 personality attributes as one of the sentiment analysis methodologies that provide us with some pertinent findings of the pro-social sentiments of top-ranked all-rounders.
