Wasim Akram remembers the 92 World Cup in Fawad Khan's PSL anthem

Composed by Xulfi, 'Khel Ja Dil Se' also features Aima Baig, Haroon Shahid, Asfar Hussain and Bilal Ali.

Updated 22 Feb, 2020

Xulfi composed a new song for this year's PSL and it's out now!

The track, which features Fawad Khan along with Aima Baig, Haroon Shahid, Asfar Hussain (vocalist from the band Bayaan) and Bilal Ali (vocalist from the band Kashmir) just dropped and reminds everyone of their love for cricket.

'Khel Ja Dil Se' definitely comes from the heart, carrying a fun tune you end up moving along to. Although we have to say, while as a song, it's on point and catchy, we don't know how we feel about this being a PSL anthem. This doesn't seem like the kind of song that would play for jazba in the cricket arena during the match like 'Hai Koi Hum Jaisa' by Strings, something the crowd can chant along to.

But this would definitely make for a great soundtrack to a cricket-related movie... maybe for the upcoming Akram: An Era? He's already in this video so...

Akram does feature in the music video, sharing a throwback to the 1992 World Cup victory. All the singers star in the video and like many cricket-based songs before it, the video shows fans excitedly watching cricket matches and cheering for their country.

The win of 92 World Cup has given us a big loss in the shape of a false hope of a Kaptaan being a savior of our nation caught in a severe and complex cob-web of corruption and perennially failed democracy.

I’m sure he must be thinking had he been the captain of that team then today he would have been the Prime Minister. And probably a better one than PMIK as you don’t have to be that good to be better than him.

Don’t the nation and the people of Pakistan sometimes wish they’d never won that World Cup and lost in the finals? Today they would have been saved from having IK as PM?

@M. Saeed Imran Khan is the best politician in Pakistan. Don't lose hope. He never gave up before in extreme adversaty. He will not give up now in turning things around for the better for the nation. Its just a matter of time.
