Aakash Chopra, a former Indian cricketer, claims that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is the second-best T20 league in the world, trailing only the Indian Premier League (IPL).
On Monday, Chopra expressed his admiration for the SA20 league in South Africa in a tweet.
#SA20 was such a lovely cricketing spectacle…packed houses. Good cricket. League has the potential to be the second best T20 league after the IPL. Currently, I feel it’s the PSL. Which incidentally is starting today too. BBL-CPL lagged behind.
