The city didn’t look like the Karachi we live in, it looked transformed, it looked different, it looked happier and definitely glitzier than ever. The streets were literally washed thoroughly on 24th March, green LED lights were displayed to mark the arrival of cricket in Karachi through PSL. The metropolis depicted a gorgeous bride embellished with beauteous accessories.
The show started off around 6 in the evening with impeccable performances by the stunning artistes like Aima Baig, Farhan Saeed, Shehzad Roy and Ali Zafar. The dimple fellow, Bilal Ashraf ruled the stage with his perfect looks and energetic hosting capabilities.
Aima Baig happened to be the first singer to perform singing her Coke Studio audio treat. Farhan Saeed took the stage to make the spectators groove on his romantic songs. Bilal Ashraf then invited the ever young, Shehzad Roy to put fire to the stage. He sang a rendition of Karachi Kings’ anthem which got the attendees stand up and chant “Karachi” whenever the name ‘Karachi’ got repeated in the song. Moreover, the power-packed performance by ‘Strings’ was so engaging that the international and national players came down the field to show the audience some adroit moves. They started off with their now audio sensation, ‘Sajni’, followed by the Pakistani cricket anthem, ‘Hai Koi Hum Jaisa’? The initiator of PSL, Ali Zafar came on the stage and sang the official PSL 2018 anthem oozing out enthusiasm and admiration out of the spectators.
Following the closing ceremonial concert, fans and followers of PSL went to their Twitter platforms to exhibit love for their favorite superstars.
According to a wide populace, Shehzad Roy’s performance happened to be quite awesome.

If I ever get to meet Shehzad Roy, i won’t ask him for an autograph, I’ll ask him for aab-e-hayat supply.

Fawad Afzal Khan also appeared on the field flaunting his chic looks embellished in a white shirt. For sure, a lot of hearts must have been beating haphazardly.

An absolutely perfect definition of ‘Old is Gold’. The band is undoubtedly capable of turning a low crowd into the excited one. The band was highly appreciated by all the spectators in the stadium and at home.
