PSL: Pakistan often compares India to army, sometimes technology and sometimes cricket. However, he does not stand ahead of India. Now take Pakistan Super League (PSL) only. Pakistan started by copying the Pakistan Super League IPL. However, PSL could never achieve popularity like IPL. This time too, in the final, Lahore Kalandars won the title for the third time by defeating Quetta Gladiators, but more discussion is being done about this victory, there are more talk of prize money found in PSL, which tells the economic situation of Pakistan.
PSL’s prize money is nothing in front of IPL
The PSL final has been played on 24 May 2025, in which Lahore Kalandars chased 202 runs and defeated Quetta Gladiators by 6 wickets to win the PSL title for the third time. Only Rs 4.25 crore was given in prize for winning Lahore Kalandars. On the other hand, if we talk about IPL, then this league 2008 started. 18 years ago, when this tournament took place for the first time, at that time Rajasthan Royals were given Rs 4.80 crore. That is, Pakistan’s prize money has not reached even the 18 -year -old standard of India. Not only this, in the Mega auction of the IPL, only many unkapped players are sold in more than the entire prize money of PCL.
Such a low prize money of PSL states that Pakistan’s financial condition is not good at all. Today the country is in debt and seems to be constantly pleading with the IMF.
Alexander Raza became hero for Lahore Kalandars
Talking about the match, the final match was played between Lahore Kalandars and Quetta Gladiators, in which Zimbabwe’s all -rounder Sikander Raza reached England just 10 minutes before the start of the match and joined the team and played a decisive role in winning the team.
