Pakistan Super League (PSL) is one of our favorite tournaments in the country. The tournament officially kick-started in Karachi last night with a stunning opening ceremony and huge traffic jams in Karachi.

The first match was held at the National Stadium Karachi and was between the Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings. The opening ceremony which kickstarted with PM Imran Khan’s opening video was live-streamed by thousands online who complained of it being short.

Of course, there was a live performance of the PSL anthem by Atif Aslam and Aima Baig, and a documentary exploring the history of Pakistani cricket was shown.

Quickly, PSL 7 started trending on Twitter, and Pakistanis were already on their meme game, while others were invested in live commentary through their tweets.

Some people hated the PSL Anthem so much they couldn’t get past it. However, the wardrobe for the two performers, Arif Aslam and Aima Baig, was questionable, and many pointed that out.

A user wrote, “Lord free atif from the shackles of wearing sequined blazers.”

Is qayamat near?
