Pakistan pace bowler Wahab Riaz is one of the recent players who has backed the Indian Premier League (IPL) over Pakistan Super League (PSL) in the debate. Wahab, who has featured in the PSL has said that the cash-rich Indian T20 league is the best in the world of franchise cricket.
While many players claimed PSL is better than IPL, Wahab said that there shouldn’t be any comparison between the Indian Premier League with the Pakistani T20 tournament. During a recent interview with Cricket Pakistan’s YouTube Channel, Wahab Riaz said that IPL is a league where all the top international players take part and that makes thing different as well.

“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,” the Pakistan pacer was quoted as saying.
On the other hand, Wahab also stated that the bowling quality of the PSL is way better than the IPL. Even though he backed the tournament, saying that the IPL has no match, the Pakistan speedster has also said that the quality of bowling in PSL is way better than the Indian cash-rich league which is also the richest cricket tournament in the world of franchise cricket as well.

“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,” Wahab Riaz concluded.
