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.
BPL is generally considered to be the biggest domestic league tournament after IPL in terms of pen, but BBL must be ranked after IPL considering competition performance and player purchases. The main reason why BBL is gaining more and more popularity is that this domestic league tournament is held at a time when no other domestic league tournament is usually held. or any other domestic league tournament is organized but most of the players give more preference to BBL.
The more quality stars come to play in a domestic league, the more people will follow the domestic league and thus the domestic league will become popular. As every season we see improvement in bbl it is expected that this tournament will become more popular in next few seasons.
