Shoaib Akhtar heavily criticized PSL 6 anthem Groove Mera
The former fast bowler, Shoaib Akhtar heavily criticized the new PSL 6 anthem. He mockingly said that he will file a case against PCB for scaring his kids who did not talk to him for three days after he played the song.
In a recent video for his Youtube channel, Akhtar took a dig on PCB for producing the PSL 6 anthem.
According to him, the anthem is ‘embarrassing’. He heavily bashed the pronunciations of the words in the song, and not only that lectured PCB for hiring ‘undeserving’ content creators. He had a lot to say on the subject with a very demeaning tone.
Last week after the release of PSL 6 anthem Groove Mera, there had been flared up social media exchanges in the favor and against the PSL 6 song. However, the stance of Rawalpindi Express had been the most critical of all.
In response, the Twitteratis went against the former cricketer, and many schooled him for his bad choice of words.

In music, groove is the sense of an effect (“feel”) of changing pattern in a propulsive rhythm or sense of “swing”.

Shoaib bhai, groove does not mean ‘Nali’ as you said, your English is very weak, it can be used in many contexts, here it is used as spirit and rhythm. I love the fact that Naseebo was picked to sing this anthem, love it, perhaps your kids are afraid of looking at your eyes 🌺

Enough said on Shoaib Akhtar’s comments on the PSL 6 anthem. The fact is I’d stand behind if someone tried to disrespect him in the same manner. Peace! Let’s hope for a fantastic cricket competition once again. Pakistan Zindabad ❤️

Besides the reactions from the celebrities, there surfaced a video interview of veteran singer Naseebo Laal, who sang the song along with other artists.
The singer focused only on the positive part of working for the first ever anthem of her life. She was teary and thanked PCB in broken words.
