Veteran Pakistan speedster Wahab Riaz has rated Indian Premier League (IPL) as the best franchise tournament over his country’s own T20 league Pakistan Super League (PSL), saying there is no domestic league in the world that can compete with India’s lucrative competition.
He further mentioned that there is no comparison between the IPL and PSL since all top international players feature in the India T20 League, saying “IPL is at a different level” in the world.
However, Wahab has put PSL second best in the world when it comes to franchise domestic tournaments while rating the bowling attacks in PSL as the best in the world.
Riaz said during the interview with Cricket Pakistan’s YouTube Channel: “IPL is a league where all the top international players come and play. You can’t compare IPL with PSL, I believe IPL is at a different level. Their commitments, the way they run things, communicate things, the way they draft the players, that is totally different. I don’t think any league can compete with the IPL, but if there is any league that stands behind it, it has to be the PSL. The League in Pakistan has proved it.”
Hailing Pakistan T20 league, the pacer said the bowling standards in the PSL are the best in any league in the world and even better than the IPL.
He signed off by saying, “The standards of bowling are quite high. The kind of bowlers you get in the PSL is not found in other leagues, not even in the IPL. This is why PSL doesn’t have many high-scoring games. The bowling attacks in PSL are the best in the world.”
