PSL 2022 kicks off with an amazing fireworks display at National Stadium Karachi
The much-anticipated cricket event of the country, Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) seventh edition kicked off in Karachi on Thursday.
The evening saw an amazing fireworks display at National Stadium, Karachi, where amid COVID-19 safety, the ground’s seating capacity was occupied at 25% only.
A three-minute paragliding act was also performed by three Austrian skydivers — Florian Greger, Paul Steiner, and Stefan Muller. The skydivers flew in the military Mi-17 and dived back into the Faisal Base training ground from about 5,000 feet in the air.
