PSL is a bigger league than IPL!
Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been described as bigger than Indian Premier League (IPL) by Pakistan team’s veteran wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan. He also told the big reason behind it.
He is not the first, many Pakistani players think that PSL is a bigger league than IPL, two completely different leagues, IPL after 15 years, PSL after 7 years, PSL and IPL are two big leagues in both countries. However, Mohammad Rizwan expressed his opinion on this matter.
Commenting on this, Mohammad Rizwan said, “Everyone knows that PSL has surprised the whole world. Initially, many people thought that this league will not be able to continue for long, this league has made a name for itself in the world.
Before PSL everyone said IPL is the biggest league, but if you ask anyone who has played in PSL, you will know that PSL is the toughest league in the world, because if there is even a reserve player, he is an international level player and he is sitting out.”
PSL is played with only six teams, while IPL started with ten teams from last season, Lokesh Rahul was the highest earning IPL player last season earning Rs 17 crores in Indian price,
Babar Azam, on the other hand, was the most expensive player in the PSL, earning a total of Rs 2.3 crore. Kieran Pollard is the highest paid foreign player in both leagues. Multan Sultans have reached the final under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan in the last two seasons.
Last season Rizwan had to lose to Shaheen Afridi and the team won the trophy in the previous season.
In PSL, Rizwan has scored 1446 runs in 59 matches, he is now sixth in the list of highest run scorers, Pakistan captain Babar Azam is at the top of the list, he has scored 2413 runs in 68 matches.
