People really hate the new PSL anthem
The fifth PSL is just around the corner. Cricket fans are more than excited and to build up the excitement further the anthem for this year’s PSL was released recently. The Anthem “Tayyar Hain” is upbeat and features Ali Azmat, Asim Azhar, Arif Lohar, and Haroon Rashid.
Unfortunately, fans are totally trashing the new PSL anthem
While there are some people who appreciated the efforts
Like this fan who liked the collaboration of Asim Azhar, Arif Lohar, Ali Azmat and Haroon along with the production of Xulfi.

So people chose to respond to the song in the most Pakistani way they know – serving some savage jokes about it
These are some of the funniest reactions to the new PSL anthem that Pakistani fans seem to really dislike, for some reason.

Some fans even think that the anthems have progressively gotten worse through the years for PSL
Feels like this has more to do with nostalgia that fans feel in hindsight than actual facts tbh. After all, there is objective way to judge art.
My life and PSL anthem both are getting worse with each passing year

Pakistani’s also brought up the death of Danish from the recently concluded show ‘Mere Paas Tum Ho‘ in the conversation because we as a nation are still hung over that show

The trauma of this song was so intense that even Asim Azhar felt the need to release a statement addressing the sentiments of fans
He even went as far as to apologize to those fans whose sentiments were hurt by the “failed” new anthem.

Seriously though, the anthem is sung by literally some of the biggest talents of Pakistan. It really couldn’t possibly be that bad. Even if it is for some, it couldn’t ever lessen our love for cricket.
What do you think about the anthem? Comment below and let us know.
