The Quetta Gladiators unveiled their official anthem for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 on Saturday night, the song being a tribute to Shahid Afridi, who will be capping off his PSL journey this season. Titled\u00a0Shaan e Pakistan<\/em>, the gladiator-themed anthem has been performed by former Strings member Bilal Maqsood, featuring rap by Ahmed Murtaza. The video of the song stars celebrity brand ambassadors for the Quetta Gladiators, including actors Ushna Shah and Adnan Siddiqui, as well as comedian Shafaat Ali.<\/p>\n

Featuring the lyrics \u201cAik shola jal raha hai dil mein<\/em>\u00a0[There is a fire burning in my heart],\u201d the video sees the cast carrying torches in typical Roman fashion, with Afridi, Shah and Siddiqui also donning traditional gladiator attire. Swords transform into cricket bats and the costumes shift from the official kit to capes and armours. Afridi\u2019s gladiator chances upon a chest, and upon opening it finds the Quetta Gladiators\u2019 kit lying in wait. While the anthem doesn\u2019t necessarily make too much of an impact, being forgettable and lacking in energy, the video manages to grab the attention of the viewer.<\/p>\n

The video was shared on the team\u2019s official Twitter, with the post reading, \u201cWe are charged and ready to conquer.\u201d<\/p>\n
