Atif Aslam is currently trending for ‘Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke’, the official anthem of the 2025 Champions Trophy.
The anthem was recently released by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
‘Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke’, produced by Abdullah Siddiqui with lyrics by Adnan Dhool and Asfandyar Asad, has sparked excitement among cricket fans worldwide.
The tournament will take place from February 19 to March 9, 2025, spanning venues across Pakistan and the UAE.
The anthem’s music video showcases Pakistan’s vibrant culture, featuring Atif Aslam dancing through bustling streets.
Meanwhile, cricket fans can be seen waving the flags of all participating teams in the video.
A cricket enthusiast himself, Atif Aslam expressed his excitement over the song’s release.
He emphasised his deep connection to the sport, especially the Pakistan-India rivalry.
ICC’s chief commercial officer, Anurag Dahiya, stated that the anthem represents Pakistan’s identity and is meant to build hype for the tournament.
He also urged fans to secure their tickets for the event.
Sumair Ahmad Syed, PCB COO and tournament director, described the song’s launch as a major milestone.
He expects it to energise cricket lovers, particularly in Pakistan, and elevate the tournament’s atmosphere.
‘Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke’ is now available on streaming platforms.
The two-week tournament will see the world’s top eight teams competing for the coveted title.
Fans still have the opportunity to purchase tickets online and from designated vendors in Pakistan.
Tickets for the final, set for March 9, 2025, will be released after the first semi-final in Dubai.
Following the anthem’s release, cricket fans flooded social media with reactions.
Atif Aslam quickly became a trending topic, with many praising his powerful vocals.
Some fans compared ‘Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke’ to previous ICC anthems, sparking debates over which song best captured the spirit of the game.
Users commended the latest song for showcasing cricket’s unifying spirit, particularly appreciating how all national flags were featured in the video.
They said it was refreshing to see such an inclusive representation.
The last ICC Champions Trophy was held in 2017, where Pakistan won.
Pakistan was initially set to host the Champions Trophy 2025.
However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to send its team to Pakistan.
As a result, the ICC decided that all India-Pakistan matches in ICC tournaments until 2027 would be played at neutral venues.
As the countdown to the tournament begins, ‘Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke’ has set the stage for what promises to be an electrifying competition.
