He also gave us &#8220;<em>Ab Khel Ke Dikha<\/em>&#8221; (2016), &#8220;<em>Dil Se Jaan Laga De<\/em>&#8221; (2018), and <a href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/khul-ke-khel-is-ali-zafars-new-psl-anthem-better-than-ab-khel-jamay-ga\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;<em>Khul Ke Khel&#8221;<\/em><\/a>\u00a0last year, proving time and again that he\u2019s the king of PSL music.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Ali Zafar is not just performing but has also composed the anthem himself. Talk about a one-man show! Fans are thrilled to see him back, with many saying PSL just isn\u2019t the same without his electrifying tunes.<\/p>\n<p>While Zafar took a break, other artists stepped in to keep the tradition alive. Fawad Khan and Young Desi\u2019s &#8220;<em>Khel Deewano Ka<\/em>&#8221; (2019) was a hit, and &#8220;<em>Tayyar Hain&#8221;<\/em> (2020) brought together a star-studded lineup of Ali Azmat, Haroon, Asim Azhar, and Arif Lohar.<\/p>\n<p>Then came &#8220;<em>Groove Mera<\/em>&#8221; (2021), a bold experiment featuring Aima Baig, Naseebo Lal, and Young Stunners. More recently, &#8220;<em>Agay Dekh&#8221;<\/em> (2022) by Atif Aslam and Aima Baig and &#8220;<em>Sab Sitaray Humaray<\/em>&#8221; (2023) by Asim Azhar, Shae Gill, and Faris Shafi have kept the PSL anthem tradition alive.<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"p-alsoread\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading\">ALSO READ<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div><a href=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/rajab-butt-accused-of-blasphemy-over-perfume-launch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rajab Butt Accused of Blasphemy Over Perfume Launch [Video]<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<p>PSL 10 kicks off on April 11, with Islamabad United taking on Lahore Qalandars at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
