In terms of popularity and quality, the Big Bash League is there right behind the IPL. If you consider the aesthetics, then it is even better than the IPL. And it is amazing how a small nation like Australia managed to set up this high quality league (their population is just around 1.5% of that of India). This is the 14th season of the BBL and they never fail to amaze us with the outstanding quality and competitiveness.
