Karachi Kings Hit Back at IPL Franchise with a Bold Response
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Karachi Kings has delivered a sharp reply to the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Punjab Kings.
As we all know, the highly anticipated Asia Cup clash between Pakistan and India is scheduled for September 14, 2025. In the lead-up to the tournament, Punjab Kings released a promotional banner highlighting the India Pakistan encounter. However, the banner featured Indian players and fans prominently, while Pakistan was completely ignored. Not only was Pakistan absent from the visuals, but the hashtags used in the campaign also made no mention of the country.
This move sparked disappointment among cricket fans, who believe that politics should be kept separate from the game. The absence of Pakistan in the promotional content was seen as a deliberate attempt to sideline one of the biggest teams in Asian cricket.
In response, Karachi Kings came up with a creative counterpunch. The franchise unveiled a promotional poster featuring Salman Ali Agha facing off against the Indian captain. Interestingly, the Indian captain was intentionally left out of the visual, symbolizing the same exclusion that Pakistan faced earlier.
The poster quickly went viral on social media, drawing praise from Pakistani fans who saw it as a clever and fitting reply. Supporters applauded the Kings for standing up for the nation and showcasing creativity while addressing the issue.
With the Pakistan-India Asia Cup clash just around the corner, this exchange between the franchises has added extra spice to an already electrifying contest.
