The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is back, and we are all here for it! The 7th edition of the tournament is underway in style with a grandiose opening ceremony.
From Ramiz Raja’s Kabi Khushi Kabi Ghum style entrance to music legend Atif Aslam and Aima Baig rocking on stage, the opening ceremony had it all.

Of course, it wouldn’t be PSL season without the fans, particularly the online fans. This time, the fans have upped their meme game to put out some really hilarious memes on social media to kick things off.

Following the opening ceremony, we got to our first official matchup of PSL 7 – Karachi Kings vs the last year’s champions, Multan Sultans.

Fans couldn’t help but feel giddy seeing the two captains facing off. After all, one is the ICC ODI player of the year and the other is the T20i player of the year! Now, that’s a proud moment.
World no 1 and no 2 T20I batsman will be leading their teams against each other today. Not other league can do such a flex. #PSL7 pic.twitter.com/oIaPEYuL92
