As we all know, the nation is all set to host one of the most anticipated cricketing events, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) which is just a month away and fans eagerly wait for the exciting anthem for its season 9.
When it comes to PSL songs, the first name that comes to mind is Ali Zafar, who has given anthems for the first three seasons of the tournament such as ‘Ab Khel Jamay Ga‘ in 2018 and ‘Dil Se Jaan Laga De’.
The 2021 anthem, Groove Mera, brought together Aima Baig, Naseebo Lal, and Young Stunners, capturing the essence of the game. Agay Dekh in 2022 showcased Atif Aslam and Aima Baig’s musical prowess, with lyrics by Abdullah Siddiqui and Natasha Noorani.
The 2023 anthem, Sab Sitaray Humaray, features Asim Azhar, Shae Gill, and Faris Shafi, who took the honours. However, fans always compared Ab Khel Jamay Ga with all of the songs.
This time around, Zafar posted on X and openly questioned the potential impact of his involvement in creating the anthem for the PSL this year and asked people to vote.
Zafar expressed a lack of ego and emphasised his genuine interest in understanding the sentiments and preferences of the people of Pakistan, contrasting them with the perspectives of a select few individuals holding influential or authoritative positions.
The PCB released the schedule of PSL 9, to be commenced on February 17, at the PCB’s headquarters in Lahore. The opening match will feature the two-time champions and current titleholders, Lahore Qalandars, facing off against Islamabad United, winners of the 2016 and 2018 editions.
