As the countdown to the ninth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) continues, fans are buzzing with excitement over the potential return of renowned musician and actor, Ali Zafar, to the anthem stage. Zafar, who sang the anthems for the first three seasons of the PSL, is stirring up speculation about his involvement in creating the anthem for PSL 9.
In a recent social media post on X (formerly Twitter), Ali Zafar openly sought the opinions of the public on his potential contribution to the PSL 9 anthem. He questioned whether his involvement would positively impact the image of both the PSL and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), strengthen the connection with the audience, and generate increased financial benefits for all stakeholders.
Expressing a lack of ego, Zafar emphasized his genuine interest in understanding the sentiments and preferences of the people of Pakistan. He contrasted this with the perspectives of a select few individuals holding influential or authoritative positions. In a subsequent post, he promised to explain the purpose behind his inquiry and urged people to vote only.
Ali Zafar’s contemplation adds an intriguing element to the buildup of PSL 9, with fans eagerly anticipating the announcement of the anthem and the artist behind it. Over the years, the PSL anthems have become an integral part of the league’s identity, featuring collaborations with various prominent musicians.
The PSL 9 schedule, released earlier by the PCB, further heightened the anticipation. The season is set to kick off on February 17, 2024, at the PCB’s headquarters in Lahore. The opening match will witness two-time champions and current titleholders, Lahore Qalandars, facing off against Islamabad United, winners of the 2016 and 2018 editions.
As the PSL fever intensifies, the question on everyone’s mind remains: Will Ali Zafar enchant audiences once again with his musical prowess in the anthem for PSL 9? The answer is eagerly awaited as the cricketing extravaganza approaches its highly anticipated kick-off.
