There are many T20 league contests taking place in the world nowadays and some of them have become quite popular as well such as PSL, Lanka Premier League, Big Bash League, etc. but there is no denying the fact that India’s IPL stands apart from all other leagues.
A lot has been said and discussed in regard to comparison between IPL and other leagues especially PSL and recently, the veteran Zimbabwe cricketer who plays for Punjab Kings in IPL has shed his opinion in this regard.
Sikandar Raza, the cricketer who also plays in PSL stated in an interview, “I just think that the availability of all the players for one tournament makes IPL really special. In most of the matches we play, the crowd comes and supports their teams. That’s something that’s really different in IPL. The only other league when it comes to crowds that comes close to IPL is PSL. So, I think IPL definitely stands out with a couple of factors, yes.”
He further said, “IPL is by far the best league when it comes to PSL also. Like, it is much better than PSL. That’s what I’m trying to say. Yeah, I’m not a big fan of comparisons. But yes, it is. I think IPL is the biggest league on the planet.”
Sikandar Raza also showed his gratitude towards Punjab Kings for showing faith in him, he said, “IPL is such a big and global event that I am very grateful and blessed that Punjab picked me. And I don’t think I can ever repay their faith. I mean, they were the only team that raised the baton on the auction day. So, if they hadn’t done that, I don’t think I would have been part of IPL last year, let alone this year. So, no, man. Being part of the IPL is a wonderful experience. And I am very grateful and humbled by the fact that Punjab has picked me.”
Well, he is not the first one to call IPL the best but it must have hurt PSL fans.
