Inaugural Pakistan Super League is a big hit, if you are in Pakistan its hard to ignore the league even if you are not a follower of the cricket.
Before the league there were speculations and apprehension on the success of the league. Because if was the first edition and it was supposed to take place outside Pakistan. But we should give credit to Pakistan Cricket Board and other partners of the league for the success of the league. This in itself is one of the biggest achievements of the organisers of the nascent Twenty20 league considering the fact that till some time back it was even hard to imagine that Pakistan had the capability of launching their own professional league in a successful manner.
Although franchise leagues take time to establish but in this league number of Pakistani emerging players have stamped their authority in the sport and cemented their places in the Pakistani team prior to Asia cup and World cup.
Emerging young talent of Pakistan had the opportunity to share the dressing room and practice sessions with the masters of the game. Playing with and opposite of renowned international players boosted the confidence of rising stars of Pakistani cricket.
According to media ratings competition has by far been the most followed event on television in Pakistan since the opening match. League also attracted number of viewers in Dubai and Sharjah where few matches particularly on Friday which is the holiday were jam packed. There is no doubt that PSL was a huge success and after all Pakistan have a league of their own.
