A Pakistani journalist asked Lahore Qalandars' English wicketkeeper-batter Sam Billings to compare PSL and IPL. "You want me to say something silly...don't you?" joked Billings. He added, "It's hard to rank all...competitions...It's hard to look past IPL as the premier competition....Every other competition is probably just behind...T20 Blast, PSL and BBL are trying to be...second best."
