South Africa cricket team batter Rilee Rossouw, who is currently playing for Pakistan Super League (PSL) side Quetta Gladiators, made a stunning remark on the Indian Premier League (IPL).
In a video that has surfaced on social media, he claimed that the PSL was more competitive than the IPL and added that the IPL is a long tournament with a lot of backing from Bollywood. As a result, he said that the tournament becomes “more of a movie” than “actual cricket.”
“The IPL is a very long tournament, and the PSL is a much more compact tournament where the competition is a lot more fierce. The IPL obviously has the whole Bollywood backing it, so it's a lot more of a movie than actual cricket,” he said.
