Rawalpindi PSL Team has also already announced its new name before the start of PSL 11, which caused both excitement and controversy on social media. Recently bought by Walee Technologies at a record price of Rs.2.45 billion, the franchise has released a brief clip which alludes to the name of the team.
The teaser featured aerial shots of the city, fast cut images and scattered letters that gradually spelt the one word name. Slogans such as We are bold and We are changing the game appeared on the screen establishing the franchise as a fresh player who is very energetic and eager to make an impact on the league.
The name was called simple, clean and powerful by owner Ahsan Tahir. Nevertheless, it did not take long before fans responded, and several of them termed it as one of the worst PSL names, thus far. The social media was flooded with memes, jokes and branding discussions, and it showed how the population was divided. Tahir has responded to organized criticism by encouraging people to stand in support of the hashtag #PindiBoy pride.
However, regardless of the ambivalent response to the name, the Rawalpindi PSL Team comes into the season with a heavy cricketing weight. The team has a backbone of captain Mohammad Rizwan and fast bowler Naseem Shah, which means they are an automatic competitor in the new eight-team PSL 2026.
Now the whole spectators focus on the official reveal of the logo. After the announcement of the name, fans and experts are now looking forward to whether the next branding would be much more accepting and clear in its landing. The franchise seems determined to develop momentum, and it combines competitive dynamism and audacious marketing.
