LAHORE: The official anthem of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025, titled “X Dekho,” has finally been released, setting the stage for another thrilling cricket season.
The anthem features an electrifying lineup of artists, including Punjabi music sensation Abrar-Ul-Haq, making his debut for the PSL.
Joining him are renowned singer and songwriter Ali Zafar, the powerful voice of Natasha Baig — who is also singing the anthem of PSL for the first time and the dynamic rap style of Talha Anjum.
The anthem captures the energy, excitement and passion of Pakistan’s marquee event, reflecting the unbreakable connection between cricket, music and the fans.
In a statement, PSL CEO Salman Naseer said: “The vision for this year’s anthem is to celebrate a milestone — ten years of PSL.
“The anthem is thus named X Dekho, representing pride over the achievements and the hurdles overcome by the HBL PSL over the last decade.”
He added, “The four artists from different backgrounds, genres, and vocal ranges reflect the diversity of Pakistan’s talent. This year, the idea was to create a song that is fresh, yet familiar and resonates across fans globally.”
