[PICTURES/VIDEOS] PSL should go head-to-head with IPL

This is something i have observed so much here in US. I have couple of Pakistani families in our neighborhood WhatsApp group and i know them pretty well. When we all come together for neighborhood meetups, we see most Indians talking about business ventures, investing here, investing there, taking risk and stuff like that. But when i talk to Pakistani friends, most are happy investing in real-estate, very few wants to invest in Pak. Mind you a lot of Indians are also crazy about real estate and invest both here and in India, but a much larger portion compared to Pakistanis wants to go entrepreneurship route, even if it means it ruins them.

Indians are definitely more risk taking. They don't mind spending money to get long term returns and actually working hard for those returns. Pakistani's in comparison are much more stingy and want a complete guarantee to get returns before even putting money on the table and don't want to put in the work.

Its the same story with the vast majority of the PSL Franchise owners. Replace them with Foreign Franchise owners and you will see the difference.

IPL Franchise owners taking over the franchises of all the leagues world wide will be a game changer for these franchises.
 
Another reason why this is good news for PSL is that guys who were playing both used to sandbag in the PSL in order to give their best in IPL

Andre Russell in 2019 comes to mind. Was absolutely trundling in PSL to preserve himself for IPL where he went all out.
 
West Indian legend Sir Viv Richards, speaking during an interview:

“There’s no doubt the IPL is the biggest. I’ve spent most of my time in the PSL, but I recognise that the IPL is number one right now. There are so many leagues, and many Pakistani players take part in them too. But the IPL has set a benchmark — featuring top international stars alongside exciting local talent to produce consistently high-quality cricket.”

Honest opionion given by the legendary cricketer.
