Furthermore, Hogg also pointed out the difference between the two leagues. While the former Aussie cricketer praised PSL for bringing back the sport to the country, Hogg said that IPL has the most worldwide viewership.
“Both 9 out of 10. The PSL has been the most prevalent of late because it has bought the game back to Pakistan. The IPL has the most interest in viewership worldwide,” read Hogg’s tweet, in reply to the fan’s query.
