<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAnother day, another Indian Premier League<\/a> (IPL) comparison in the Pakistan Super League<\/a> (PSL) \u2014 and this time, it left Islamabad United assistant coach Jacob Oram<\/a> in splits.The former New Zealand cricketer could not hold back his laughter when asked about South African batter Rillie Rossouw\u2019s recent remark that the IPL feels \u201cmore of a movie than actual cricket,\u201d compared to the PSL.The moment came during the post-match press conference after Hyderabad Kingsmen defeated Islamabad United by six wickets in Karachi, but the focus quickly shifted from the result to the now-viral IPL vs PSL debate.\u201cDid you say like a movie?\u201d Oram reacts<\/span>Reacting to the question, Oram laughed and said, \u201cDid you say like a movie?\u201d before offering a balanced take on the comparison.\u201cThey\u2019re similar tournaments, but they\u2019re very different. That\u2019s twice as long, the IPL,\u201d he said, referring to the scale of the competition. \u201cI haven\u2019t coached in the IPL. I played in the IPL and that was a long time ago\u2026 and it has grown into a bit of a behemoth.\u201dCurrently part of the Islamabad United setup alongside head coach Luke Ronchi, Oram emphasised his positive experience in the PSL.\u201cThis is my first opportunity in the PSL and I\u2019m loving it. The group \u2014 from staff to players \u2014 have been so welcoming. We are well looked after, well catered for\u2026 so far, so good here. Loving it,\u201d he added.Oram also admitted he would have preferred fuller stadiums for a better atmosphere, saying, \u201cI\u2019d love to have crowds here\u2026 for that vibe and atmosphere,\u201d while acknowledging the reasons behind their absence.WATCH:<\/span> Rossouw\u2019s comment fuels debate<\/span>The question stemmed from Rossouw\u2019s earlier statement, where he drew a sharp contrast between the two leagues.\u201cThe IPL obviously has the whole Bollywood behind it, so it\u2019s a lot more of a movie than actual cricket. So both of them have their pros and cons,\u201d Rossouw had said after a Player of the Match performance in Karachi.His remark came amid growing ambitions within the PSL ecosystem, with Mohsin Naqvi recently stating that the league is on track to become the world\u2019s top franchise tournament.<\/p>\n Poll<\/p>\n Do you agree with Rillie Rossouw’s statement that IPL feels more like a movie?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
