Pakistan fast-bowler Hasan Ali came up with his own rendition of Vital Sign’s iconic national song “Dil Dil Pakistan” while playing the guitar in a viral social media video ahead of a Pakistan vs India Twenty20 World Cup thriller.
The two-minute clip sees veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez and Hasan Ali speaking about the popularity of the song and how it has united the Pakistanis even after decades of its release.
The fast bowler is then handed a guitar which he starts playing. He is then asked to sing the song while playing the guitar. He initially said that it cannot be done but made an attempt.
Hasan Ali then proceeded to sing the song while Mohammad Hafeez is seen hearing his teammate’s rendition. He then claps for the effort.
Here’s how social media reacted to the video.
This is a very sweet song. It’s a song that evokes your passion. It awakens the person inside you to do something for your country. After defeating India tonight, this song will be sung and sung in all corners of Pakistan👇👇👇👇
