Mumbai (Tassawar News) The Indian Premier League (IPL) has once again been crowned the most entertaining T20 cricket league in the world, with Pakistan’s Super League (PSL) taking the second position, according to a recent global sports ranking.
The rankings, compiled by an international sports analytics firm, were based on factors including audience engagement, match viewership, star player participation, competitive balance, and overall entertainment value. The IPL, with its blend of world-class talent, high-scoring matches, and massive fan following, maintained its dominance for yet another year.
“The IPL continues to set the benchmark for franchise cricket globally,” the report stated, highlighting its successful mix of international stars, local talent, and entertainment-driven presentation. The league’s strong financial backing and innovative broadcasting strategies were also credited for its sustained popularity.
The PSL, launched in 2016, was praised for its competitive quality, thrilling matches, and the emergence of promising young players. Analysts noted that despite having a smaller budget compared to the IPL, the PSL has carved out a loyal fan base and has produced memorable cricketing moments.
Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL) and England’s The Hundred also featured in the top five, but both were rated lower in terms of consistent global engagement.
Cricket fans across social media engaged in lively debates following the release of the rankings, with supporters of both leagues highlighting their favorite moments and players. While many agreed with IPL’s top spot, PSL fans argued that the gap between the two leagues is narrowing each year.
Organizers of the PSL welcomed the recognition, promising to make upcoming seasons even more exciting and competitive. Meanwhile, IPL officials said they remain committed to innovating and delivering the “world’s best cricket entertainment experience.”
