In such a situation, when no one asked Riley Rousseau to play in IPL, he started playing in Pakistan Super League.

Rousseau is playing for Quetta Gladiators in PSL 2026. In a viral video on social media, Russo is calling PSL better than IPL.

Obviously there is all Bollywood behind IPL, so it feels more like a movie than actual cricket.”
