IPL vs PSL Prize money: Let’s look at the recently crowned PSL Champions Lahore Qalandars’ prize money in comparison to the 2022 IPL Champions Gujarat Titans.

Whenever there is a discussion about cricket tournaments like IPL and PSL, the anticipation of India and Pakistan always arises, and it’s no different in this case. It’s natural to draw comparisons between the two leagues.

Despite the similarities, there are some differences, such as the prize money awarded to the winning teams. For instance, Shaheen Afridi’s Lahore Qalandars received approximately INR 3.4 crore for winning the PSL, while Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans, the winners of IPL 2022, received a significantly higher amount of INR 20 crore.

Recently, BCCI sold the broadcasting rights for the IPL for which many bidders participated. The final count for the TV rights stands at ₹23,575 crores while the digital rights closed at 20,500 crores.

There is still a very long load for PSL to compete with its counterpart in terms of viewership and revenue generation. Whereas IPL competes in a league of its own where no other cricket tournaments come closer to it.

However, if we look at things from a cricketing aspect, both leagues are considered among the top cricket tournaments along with BBL. Both leagues have their unique strengths and offer exciting cricketing action to fans. The choice between IPL and PSL ultimately depends on personal preferences and loyalties.
