Why do IPL products excel in Test cricket, whereas PSL products struggle in the format?

[U$ofA]

BCCI needs to do a lot more on that front. They should incentivise cricketers to make test cricket their main format. I do think they are taking steps to address that. Let's see.

It's going to become a problem for various countries though as well. Except England and Australia who have their ashes trophies to think of to some extent.

BCCI has slowly and silently reducing the test footprint for the Indian team. Tests have become two test "series".

BGT, ATT are good for now. But for how long, who knows. As the years go on, the newer fans could not even get into test cricket. Only follow IPL.

No need for BCCI to do more for tests. Let the free market determin things. Nothing should be forced. Market forces should determine things.

This has to be one of the dumbest takes I’ve seen on PP, and it perfectly sums up how low-quality discussions have become thanks to low-IQ posting.


A good player’s career typically spans ~15 years. The IPL started in 2008, and guys like Kohli, Sharma, Pujara, Rahane, Jadeja, Ashwin, etc. were mainstays for well over a decade. Only now, as that core group phases out, are the so-called “IPL generation” players actually getting a sustained run.

So how exactly are you expecting them to average 50 already, when most of them have only been regulars for a couple of years?

Whether this generation ends up matching the success of the 90s/2000s/2010s Test greats is something only time will tell. But comparing them prematurely to past legends is just a lazy, low-effort take—and honestly a big reason why a lot of quality posters don’t bother with PP anymore.


Also, let’s not ignore the irony: the “IPL generation” has already produced one of India’s greatest bowlers, and arguably Asia’s second-greatest fast bowler.

Indians always jump too much without reading. How many 50 averaging test batsmen have come from IPL since 2008?

Ill wait.

How can a player who started his career in last 5 years become a great?

Use your brain for once.

Did I say he must have started in the last 5 years? I said how many established greats do you have in the last 5 years. Use YOUR brains for once. Cheap internet has given you access todo bhangra online but not brains. Since 2008 since IPLstarted how many 50 averaging test batsmen has it given?
