So, Pakistan Super League just concluded. There is no doubt that it was one cricket tournament that absolutely divided the nation, but in a good way.
Probbly for the first time, people were actually passionate about their local teams as much as they have been for the national cricket team.
Last year, cricket finally came home. This time cricket was taken to unprecedented heights at home.

And not because it was another opportunity to enjoy cricket yet again but also because you could flaunt your city’s swag over your friends (sorry, Sialkot valo).
Adults and kids alike

Even those who didn’t know Urdu were bathed in PSL fever
Who likes these words? "Haaye saare, saare ke saare
Ye zameen pe dekho taare
Ye roshni se banke hain chamke
Haan poora jam ke khelege aaj!— Alan Wilkins (@alanwilkins22) February 22, 2016
Of course, there were some setbacks and upsets along the way
