Earlier this week, a video of superstar Atif Aslam meeting Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam went viral on social media. In the said clip, the Doori crooner comes in to hug Babar and the two engage in a lovely exchange. Many speculated back then whether Atif meeting Babar and Co was his subtle way of hinting that he has been roped in to sing this year's coveted PSL anthem.
And they were right on the money!
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday announced Atif will be joined by Aima Baig to sing the upcoming anthem of the seventh installment of PSL. The song will be produced by celebrated musician, Abdullah Siddiqui.
