I hope everyone says IPL otherwise this thread will go to 10 pages with IPL fans seething and attacking people for their opinions
People need to vote using their brain more than their heart.

Do y'all even follow all the leagues? I haven't seen IPL or BBL, at all. But I do like PSL for its cricket, however; Carribean has that flavour that no other league has
People need to take their green-tinted glasses off.
I understand that it is too much for some our of resident champions of delusion, but the Empty Stadium League, formerly known as the Pakistan Super League, is rubbish.
The quality of batting is dreadful and the quality of bowling is poor. No wonder it appears "competitive" to some people. The quality is consistently and competitively poor.
I have had a lot of time for the PSL and the potential that it has, but if this is the product that we have after two years - notwithstanding the constraints it is subjected to - then I do not see much hope for the future.
Things might get better if/when it returns to Pakistan on a full-scale, but there are too many problems and issues with this so-called Super League that go beyond the venue.
Comparing it to the IPL is like comparing Faisal Iqbal to Virat Kohli.
The Empty Stadium League is not 1% of the IPL, and I have serious doubts if it is even comparable to the BPL or the CPL.
It was always going to be a cheap IPL rip-off, and we had no option but to copy and produce a woeful imitation, but at least we should have done a half-decent job.
It is absolutely shambolic. A complete disaster. Instead of improving, it has only gone backwards. This edition has been the worst so far by some distance. I am done with this joke of a tournament.

Asking which is your favourite T20 league is like asking which is your favourite International team.Indian fans would say IPL,Pakistan fans would say PSL and Australian Fans would say BBL.
In all of the leagues I have witnessed till now, this years IPL has been the best in terms of quality, attendance and the best part has been the excitement. No issues in calling it the best T20 league today around the world. Even BBL has not been that good as compared to IPL this season. Almost every game a last over finish is guaranteed.
In terms of quality, well so many batting and bowling prospects are produced for future. Be it Avesh Khan, Shivam Mavi, Shreyas Iyer, Shubhman Gill, Ankit Rajpoot etc etc, And the legends are coming back into their best form, I mean Dhoni here.
We are seeing the best foreign talent as well. Well all over its proved after this season that noone matches IPL excitement in any other world league. Any other thoughts?
Lol at those delusional 17 folks who voted for that league.read the thread title properly folks.
I mean people have a right to share an opinion or is that too much for you snowflake lot to comprehend? You guys really are an insecure bunch aren't you??![]()

I mean I understand that Indians in general need validation to feel good about themselves but demeaning others just to because they don't align with whatever convoluted thought process you might be having at a personal level is a new type of low that I am seeing for the past few months on Pakpassion.
If this is how it is in India then I just feel sorry for you guys. I hope you can sort these issues out and lead a peaceful life in future.
Only watch the best league, PSL. I tried to watch other leagues but they were such a bore, i simply couldn't continue.
If you able to survive after watching PSL then you can watch any T20 League in the world
There a big difference between what's your favorite league and what in your opinion is the best league. Would you say Pakistan is the best Test and ODI team currently if asked what's the best team in the world right now? However, it would be apt to say Pakistan is your favorite team though. There's a difference.
There's a difference between cricket leagues and cricket teams.

I wasn't comparing them, I was merely giving an example. Was Australia my favorite team during the period of their dominance? No. But were they the best team? Yes, by a long, long shot.
If you are not comparing them then it is not really an example, or not a good example anyway.
You are correct that there is a difference between "best" and "favourite" cricket team. "Favourite" is judged by subjective criteria i.e. the team you personally support. "Best" is judged by objective criteria i.e. winning percentage.
But it is different when you ask someone about cricket leagues. There is no objective criteria as such. Therefore, most people will judge a league by how entertaining it is for them personally. As a result, they will normally consider their "favourite" league to also be the "best" league.
You must be naive to think there is no objective criteria to judge a league...there are lots of objective criteria like quality of players, television deals, sponsors etc..Cricinfo had an article about all these..IPL is head and shoulders above every league and we shouldn't even be wasting time to discuss which is the best league..the whos who of world cricket are in India right now covering the IPL and only time when they gather usually is every 4 years during a world cup...so that should tell you ..plus the fact that ICC created a separate window for IPL.. something which no other league enjoy s..
Some people are struggling to distinguish between "my favorite league" and "best league".
PSL may be your favorite league and that is perfectly normal, since it is a Pakistani league. However, to call it the "best league" because it is your favorite league is comical.
Let's not confuse the two entirely different aspects. It is like saying that Pakistan is the best team in the world because it is the team that I support.
IPL is by far the best league in the world by any objective metric. It is the gold standard of franchise cricket, and all other leagues are nothing but poor imitations, and they cannot surpass the IPL and its 10 year history because it cannot compete with BCCI's resources.

PSL will be at par with IPL if played in Pakistan
IPL is good but too long
CPL BBL kinda similar though CPL is more fun
My views have changed after this atrocious ongoing BPL and I would now rate it below CPL.
My rating as follows:
IPL
Natwest T20 Blast
Big Bash
Mzansi Super League
PSL
CPL
BPL
Afg Premier league
