Overview
- At a post-match press conference in Karachi, Islamabad United assistant coach Jacob Oram laughed at a question quoting Rilee Rossouw and called the IPL twice as long and a behemoth.
- Oram said he is loving his first PSL stint with Islamabad United and praised how well the group looks after him.
- He added that he wants fans back in the stands, with Hindustan Times reporting this PSL season is limited to Lahore and Karachi without spectators after a spike in oil prices.
- Rossouw had earlier said the IPL feels more like a movie than cricket because of Bollywood backing, a line that went viral and set up the exchange.
- The renewed IPL–PSL talk comes as Mohsin Naqvi promotes the PSL as on track to be the world’s top franchise tournament, even as press rooms revisit player moves such as Kusal Mendis’ 2025 exit.
