Hasan Ali has made a bold claim regarding the viewership of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and Indian Premier League (IPL) this year. Despite acknowledging Pakistan’s recent poor performances in international cricket, Hasan believes that if the quality of cricket in the PSL reaches a high level, fans will choose to watch the PSL over the IPL. The PSL had to shift its schedule to April-May this season due to the Champions Trophy, putting it in direct competition with the IPL. Hasan, who will be representing Karachi Kings this season, expressed confidence that the PSL can carve out its own space if performances meet expectations.
Pakistan’s recent international struggles, including a disappointing Champions Trophy campaign and losses against New Zealand, have impacted the perception of the PSL. However, Hasan remains hopeful for change, citing the inclusion of fresh faces in the team and management. He believes that with time and improvement, Pakistan’s performance will improve, leading to a rise in the PSL’s popularity. Hasan’s optimism for the future of Pakistani cricket and the PSL is evident, despite the current challenges the team is facing.
