It seems that Pakistan may be on the verge of witnessing its biggest crossover Pakistan Super League (PSL) and hit Tuurkish TV show Diriliş: Ertuğrul. In a recent teet, Peshawer Zalmi head honcho, Javed Afridi hinted on the possibility of Engin Altan Düzyatan, the actor who plays the titular role in the show, of becoming the team's brand ambassador.
"What if Ertugrul Ghazi joins Peshawar Zalmi as a brand ambassador," Afridi said.
WHAT IF #ErtugrulGhazi JOIN PESHAWAR ZALMI AS A BRAND AMBASADOR ❓

Naturally, people were taken aback by the very idea of two of Pakistan's primary obsessions colliding.

Some were just aching to see their favourite actor in Zalmi colours. "Lala we Want to See him Wearing Zalmi Jersey in Pakistan For PSL6," the fan said.

"And what about Esra Bilgic, Halima Sultan? We want to see her wearing Peshawar Zalmi Jersey in Pakistan for PSL6 then whole Pakistan starts supporting zalmi, think big," another said.
