Indian Premier League (IPL) has changed the way cricket boards across the world think about their domestic cricket and it has brought a positive change across the world, as now most of the Test-playing nations have their own franchise-based league up and running. There has been a recent comparison doing the rounds on social media where Pakistan fans and Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ramiz Raja have been trying to compare their Pakistan Super League with the IPL, even saying that they offer more exciting and competitive cricket as compared to the Indian franchise-based league. PCB chairman Ramiz Raja plans to move the PSL to an IPL style auction format to replace the current draft system. What are your thoughts? pic.twitter.com/oSuR4i7rMG — Wisden India (@WisdenIndia) March 15, 2022 Echoing PCB chief’s words, Pakistani journalist Arfa Feroz Zake took to Twitter to state that PSL grew in an era where other countries too had their respective leagues and added that IPL grew only because there was no competition. "No comparison between PSL and IPL! PSL started in 2016 while IPL was inaugurated in 2008. However one has to admit PSL gained worldwide popularity more quicker in an era when other boards had introduced their leagues too whereas there was no competitor in the market when IPL was born," he tweeted.

Uthappa said it was the IPL that created the market for others to follow.

And as expected, he faced a lot of flak from Indian fans over his comments. Other leagues are slowly gaining popularity but when it comes to IPL, no one even comes close to the Indian franchise-based T20 league. 2022 has already turned out to be a great year for #IPL.

Saudi oil company Aramco has bagged rights to Orange & Purple Caps. + — KSR (@KShriniwasRao) March 10, 2022 The 15th edition of IPL is less than a week away and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to earn a whopping Rs 800 crore from sponsorship and other deals for the upcoming season.

‘Pakistan Bechna Padega’ Fans Troll PSL Team Owner Who Is Looking To Buy Chelsea
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Premier League giants Chelsea are up for sale and investors from around the world are looking at it as a wonderful opportunity to foray into the most popular sport on the planet. With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Chelsea’s current owner Roman Abramovich has found himself in troubled waters which has forced him to sell the club that he bought back in 2013. Reports are saying that Roman Abramovich has put Chelsea up for sale with a asking price of $4 billion. He has been a fantastic owner & will be such a shame when he sells the club. He loves the club & because of unfortunate circumstances. pic.twitter.com/iVoWxsxdtJ — Frank Khalid (@FrankKhalidUK) March 2, 2022 The Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, during an interview with Swiss daily Blick, revealed that Abramovich himself offered him and three other people the chance to buy the club. The prospect of becoming the owner of the reigning European champions is a lucrative offer that no investor in the world can resist and that’s why we are seeing people from across the globe showing their interest. #Exclusive: Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss is considering a purchase of @ChelseaFC, as he reveals today in an interview @Blickch The owner and Russian oligarch Roman Abramovitsch is afraid of sanctions and wants to sell the club to Wyss, among others.https://t.co/ICkPYax9F0 — Nicola Imfeld (@nicola_imfeld) March 1, 2022 There are so many reports doing rounds on the internet that it’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the genuine one from mere speculations. For every genuine report, there are multiple reports that make little to no sense. One report that has been doing rounds on social media is of a Pakistani businessman Javed Afridi, the owner of Pakistan Super League franchise Peshawar Zalmi, is interested in buying the West London club. Peshawar Zalmi's owner is interested in buying Chelsea Football Club. Minimum 30,400cr (INR) are needed to buy Chelsea. (Reported by Khaleej Times). — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) March 3, 2022 According to the Free Press Journal, Afridi has himself confirmed that he is exploring his options to buy the Blues. “Yes, we are interested and exploring,” Afridi was quoted as saying by FPJ. View this post on Instagram Another report in Khaleej Times claimed that Afridi has already met with a sports and legal agency in the UK to plan his future course of action. “Afridi’s team held a meeting this afternoon (Wednesday) with a sports and legal agency in the UK. There’s a bunch of investors who are interested in Chelsea Football Club,” the source said. View this post on Instagram “They believe it’s the right time and opportunity to invest in football. And someone from Asia should come and invest. They are in a negotiation with them right now.” With Chelsea being one of the biggest brands in the world of football, the asking price has been reportedly set to $4 billion and that’s excluding the debt ($1.5bn) which Abramovich lent to the club in the last 19 years. Some believe that any investor or group of investors looking to buy the club will have to shell out at least $2billion, if not more. Chelsea won every possible trophy during the Abramovich era: Premier League FA Cup EFL Cup Champions League Europa League Community Shield Club World Cup Super Cup pic.twitter.com/3Zu0Wf4BK0 — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) March 2, 2022 With such an enormous asking price, the fans in different parts of the world don’t really understand from where will Afridi, whose net worth is in the region of $90-95mn, arrange this money from. The Pakistani fans, however, are over the moon with this news and they have started celebrating as if the deal is already in their bag. Soon there was a war of words on Twitter as Indian people started trolling Pakistani supporters and Afridi for thinking way beyond their pay grade. Pakistan bechna padega , PSL ki team nahi hai Chelsea team , 4cr mein aa jayegi , bhai aise sapne mat dekho,aise dekho jo pure kar sako,pehle debt uthar do ,phir team kharidna — mahendra kothari (@jackiejain120) March 3, 2022Even Pakistan government cannot buy Chelsea. It's valuation is around 4$ b i.e. around 72,000 Pakistani crores. Don't know what Afridi is smoking. First provide decent money to retired players league PSL. — Avon Maxis (@AvonMaxis) March 3, 2022Even pakistan can't buy chelsea Chelsea brand value = 5.6 billion $ Money begged from IMF for 3 years by Pakistan = 6 billion $ First tell Javed afridi to pay international players so that apart from third class players some good top players can also take part in PSL. — Harmeet Gill (@HarmeetGil) March 2, 2022So thia is the intelligence level of a Pakistani. Go check his net worth and the brand value of Chelsea they can't do a simple auction in psl and now they will buy chelsea what an idiot to believe this! — Debasish singh (@Debasis00128879) March 3, 2022A guy with net worth $92 million going to buy Chelsea — Nitish (@Nitishk40027508) March 3, 2022The Swiss billionaire Wyss, whose net worth is $5.1 billion, says that he can’t invest in the club without the help of a partner. And here we have Afridi with a fraction of his net worth claiming to buy the club. Even if that were to happen, not sure if Chelsea fans would want that. View the full article -
The chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Ramiz Raja, has granted his approval for the Women's Pakistan Super League (PSL) to begin next year. The PCB celebrated a big victory in the recently ended Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 when Shaheen Shah Afridi's Lahore Qalandars defeated Mohammad Rizwan's Multan Sultans to win the title. The Pakistani league’s profits soared to 71 per cent, the most in the league's history, according to PCB chairman Ramiz Raja. Ramiz Raja "PSL 7 profits jumped to 71%, which is the most in its history, with each franchise earning around PKR900million, again the most in PSL’s history, and all before the first ball was even bowled" #PSL7 #Cricket — Saj Sadiq (@SajSadiqCricket) February 28, 2022 In the meanwhile, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has stated that a Pakistan Super League-style league for women cricketers will be held. Tania Malik, the head of Women’s Cricket in Pakistan made the announcement on Wednesday. The Women's Pakistan Super League was supposed to take place in 2022, however, it was postponed due to a lack of space in the present window for a women's T20 league. Now that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja has given the league his blessing, it is official that the competition will begin in 2023. With the approval of Women’s PSL coming through for 2023, the fans of Indian cricket have started slamming the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The complaint is that even though the BCCI remains the wealthiest and the most influential cricket board in the world, they have somehow managed to make absolutely no progress in introducing an Indian Premier League for women. What card will BCCI play? Not enough players? Not enough audience? Jaanne ke liye dekhiye agla “inside sources” episode. https://t.co/nyeAQu6xBr — Abhishek Mukherjee (@ovshake42) March 2, 2022Absolute shame, again they will stage a WIPL next year so that they don’t lag behind WPSL and not because they want a WIPL, I — AK (@rwamit) March 2, 2022Now that Pakistan has done it, BCCI will be forced to — Ajay Kamath (@ajay43) March 2, 2022Forget about the administrator, many top level women cricketers and few journalist always defended BCCI's negligence to invest more(be it money, work, time or interest) on womens Cricket. — Suresh Manna (@puchunpuchi) March 2, 2022"Current BCCI" is only Money making Company....Shameful #BCCI #SGanguly #JaySaha#DemandWomenIPL — Saurav Kayal (@KayalSaurav) March 2, 2022Some of the other major cricketing nations of the world have integrated women’s cricket into their very own franchise cricket setups. For instance, Cricket Australia have organised a women’s big bash league and England introduced The Hundred tournament last year. However, the Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI, who boast the most successful franchise league in the world, are still leaving their prospects of a women’s IPL hanging in the air. In February 2022 BCCI secretary Jay Shah suggested that the board “plans” to launch a full-fledged Women's IPL “soon”. This follows appeals from a variety of quarters, including former cricketers, both male and female, for an Indian women's T20 event on par with the Women's BBL and the Women's Hundred. Along with the men's IPL, a three-team Women's T20 Challenge is held, however many argue that women need their own league with more teams and players. The Women's T20 Challenge will continue this year, but according to BCCI secretary Jay Shah, things will soon alter. View the full article

The Indian Premier League (IPL), without any doubt, is the biggest cricket league in the world. In fact, not just cricket, IPL is one of the most popular sports leagues in the world. With every new season, its viewership touches new heights as more and more fans tune in to watch the action unfold, either in front of their television sets or smartphones. © Twitter Apart from attracting billions of eyeballs, the IPL has also filled the coffers of the BCCI, the franchises and the official broadcasters. According to a report published by Duff and Phelps, the IPL has the fourth most expensive broadcasting rights in the world. The host broadcasters Star India paid around Rs 64.37 Cr in broadcasting fee per match to the BCCI in 2020. © Twitter/IPL The top three spots belong to the National Football League (Rs 131.78 Cr), English Premier League (Rs 79.52 Cr) and Major League Baseball (Rs 72.70 Cr), respectively. Germany’s top-flight football league Bundesliga comes in at fifth spot with Rs 29.53 Cr while the NBA takes the sixth place earning Rs 15.90 Cr per match through broadcasting rights. What’s interesting is that all the other leagues on the list have a long history while the IPL came into existence merely a decade back in 2008. Despite being fairly young, the IPL has managed to compete against some of the more established sports leagues in the world, which speaks volumes about its crazy popularity. © Twitter/IPL This report is a testament that no other cricket league is anywhere near the level of IPL, neither in terms of popularity nor the monetary gains. However, people from across the border often make unnecessary comparisons between IPL and Pakistan Super League. Just like any other cricket league, PSL is also an infant in front of the IPL but still the Pakistani supporters and some of the cricket experts try to portray as if their league is at par with the IPL, especially when it comes to the quality of cricket. The IPL’s ranking among the best sports leagues in the world provided the Indian fans with an opportunity to roast the Pakistani supporters and show them the mirror. How do PSL fans even dare to compare their league to our mammoth league. pic.twitter.com/JkGXg0ocWu — Mohammed Khan (@faro_003) March 1, 2022Total profit of PSL equal to profit of only one match of our IPL — Ashwin Parmar (@AshwinP19593549) March 1, 2022And there are people who compares IPL to PSL — SID (@IAMSIDHANT) March 1, 2022It will get much bigger with 2 months 10 team IPL — ° (@bccindian) March 1, 2022Itne mein pure Pakistan ki loan maaf ho jayegi @ImranKhanPTI — Karansingh (@Karansingh788) March 1, 2022Ek din bcci ki net worth pakistan ke gdp se jyada hogi — Jagdish Patil (@JagdishBhaleka1) March 2, 2022 People can claim whatever they want but it’s a fact that IPL is the best cricketing extravaganza on the planet. Being fans of IPL, all of us can be mighty proud of the role we have played in making the tournament a massive success over the years. View the full article

Indian Premier League (IPL) has changed the face of franchise cricket since its inception in 2008, a year after India won the inaugural T20 World Cup. There have been many countries that have started their own T20 league, following the footsteps of IPL. However, IPL being the only T20 tournament with Indian cricketers' presence along with the best of the overseas players, makes it the best franchise-based tournament in the world. Fans often compare the quality of cricket in Australia's Big Bash League or Pakistan Super League with the IPL but Indian fans always get the last laugh as even the cricketers who have played around the world agree with IPL fans that it is indeed the best league in the world. How sad @ArfaSays_ didn't mentioned about this in his regular tweets pic.twitter.com/4HHsKW8TVa — 𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖌𝖊 ⟿ 𝖌𝖚 (@cypher_nxxt) March 1, 2022 Usman Khawaja, the Australian cricketer of Pakistan origin, also highlighted the main difference that makes the IPL superior to any other league in the world including the PSL. Khawaja, who is in Pakistan for the upcoming Test series, was interacting with the media ahead of the first Test. When asked to pick one between IPL and PSL, Khawaja expressed his views in detail. © Twitter IPL "IPL is the strongest in the world. That's hands down. That's not really a contest there (between IPL and PSL) because at the end of the day they have all the world come to them and they also have the only league in the world that has Indian cricketers. So, it ends up becoming the best league in the world," Khawaja said. Indian fans soon used Khawaja's comments as an opportunity to take a dig at PSL fans and boasted about the IPL's superiority on social media. 2 min silence for Pakistani fans https://t.co/eXofMyLHux — SUHAIB 𓃵 सुहेब (@ItsSuhaibTweets) March 1, 2022 Usman Khawaja sitting itself in pakistan and destroying their jurnos Dam hai bande me pic.twitter.com/P9IFyZ79u5 — 𝕾𝖆𝖛𝖆𝖌𝖊 ⟿ 𝖌𝖚 (@cypher_nxxt) March 1, 2022 IPL is ipl man no comparison just brutal statement https://t.co/NE1x9jzCnD — vk100 (@peterparker18XV) March 1, 2022 Such brutality https://t.co/tQVikgoo4d — R (@Cricketador) March 1, 2022 Man bodied PSL in front of Pakistani journalists https://t.co/Chgefzl3wB — .

However, many Australian stars regularly feature in the IPL with the likes of David Warner, Shane Watson, Shane Warne and Ricky Ponting even donning the captain's hat at some stage in the tournament's history.
