A soundtrack for a growing legacy
The anthem arrives at a significant turning point for the league, which is expanding to feature eight teams for the first time in its history. Beyond the on-field expansion, ‘Khelenge Beat Pe’ serves as a musical chronicle of the PSL’s decade-long journey, capturing how the tournament has evolved from a cricketing event into a cultural touchstone for a generation of fans across Pakistan.
The track is designed as a tribute to the nation’s deep-rooted passion for cricket, celebrating a sport that remains a unifying force for millions. Since its inception in 2016, the PSL has established itself as an annual celebration, blending world-class athleticism with entertainment.
“Crowd ke shor mein ab pure zor mein, tu zameen ko hila de aaj!” 🔥💃
The one that started it all. In 2016, Ali Zafar’s “Ab Khel Ke Dikha” launched a revolution. From this first beat, the HBL PSL legacy was born.

A fusion of musical heavyweights
Leading the vocal lineup for this year’s anthem is Pakistani music icon Atif Aslam. This marks Aslam’s second stint with the PSL, following his performance on the 2022 anthem ‘Agay Dekh’.
He is joined by the trailblazing Sabri Sisters, Anam and Saman, who bring a unique dynamic to the track, alongside acclaimed singer Aima Baig and rising rap sensation Daniya Kanwal. Baig is no stranger to the PSL’s musical legacy; this season marks her fourth appearance in the league’s anthems, having previously contributed to ‘Groove Mera’ (2021), the 2022 anthem, and ‘Khul Ke Khel’ (2024).
League leadership reflects on evolution
PSL Chief Executive Officer Salman Naseer emphasised that the anthem embodies the league’s trajectory as a premier global T20 competition. He noted that as the tournament has grown in competitiveness and viewership, the theme for this year was crafted to reflect both its achievements and its ambitions.
“The PSL has always stood for world-class cricket, unforgettable entertainment and the incredible passion of our fans,” Naseer said in a statement. “As we step into Season 11, this anthem represents the evolution of the league and the exciting journey ahead. It reflects where the PSL stands today: confident, dynamic and ready to inspire a whole new generation of players and fans.”
