A Pakistan journalist named Imran Siddique hit back at Indian fans and clarified the ‘propaganda’ over trolling PSL 2025 for gifting a bike to a lucky fan in the stadium after every match. Siddique mocked the Indian fans by saying he is willing to give a PSL tour to them on the bike.
To increase fan engagement, PSL has introduced this initiative. All fans need to do is scan their match ticket’s QR code using the app named GoLottlo. Although the winner is announced during the innings break of the match, the bike is handed over after the game concludes.
Speaking in a video uploaded on X, Siddique stated by sitting at the said bike:
“Haan India waalon, is bike pe bitha ke tumhe PSL ki sair karwaate hain. Kal se hum dekh rahe hain bada propaganda ho raha hai social media pe, youtube par, facebook par, twitter par ki PSL ke man of the match ko yeh bike di jaayegi. Yeh man of the match ko nahin, fans ko di jaa rahi hai. Yeh jo stadiums pe baithkar matches dekh rahe hain. Unko di jaa rahi hai, jo is application ke zariye jo is bike pe nazar aa rahi hai. Jo lucky draw mein shaamil honge, unko rozaana ki buniyaad par ek bike di jaayegi.”
“Yaani 34 matches hogi toh 34 bikes fans ko di jaayegi. Yeh ek aap marketing stunt isko keh sakte hain.”
(Indian fans, let’s give you a tour of PSL via this bike. We have been watching since yesterday there have been propaganda on social media, YT, Twitter, Facebook that the Player of the Match in PSL will get this bike. Not the Player of the Match, but fans who come to the stadium to watch these games will get it. The ones who participate in the lucky draw that is mentioned in the bike will get it through daily contests. Since there are 34 matches, fans will get 34 bikes. You can call this as a marketing stunt.)
