Vinu,
What you have said:
"The trace that is shorter on the PCB is connected to a longer
trace on the BGA."
is probably, but not always true. Not all BGA connections can be made with
shortest path.
But it is appropriate to consider the total length difference (silicon pad
to pad) and how that compares to the rise time of the signals.
