Keypad Phones Spark Outrage at PSL 11 Final Amid 5G Era

A promotional stunt at the Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) final has backfired at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, where officials tossed boxes of keypad phones into the crowd during a giveaway segment. The incident occurred during the match between Peshawar Zalmi and Hyderabad Kingsmen, shortly after the 10th over of the second innings. The chaotic scene unfolded as organizers attempted to distribute the items, sparking a frenzy among spectators scrambling to catch the boxes. The giveaway has been met with widespread criticism, with many questioning the decision to throw objects into a packed stadium, citing safety concerns for fans. Moreover, the type of devices being distributed has also raised eyebrows, with several social media users pointing out that the boxes appeared to contain basic keypad phones, which are seen as outdated in today’s technology landscape. Online reactions have been scathing, with one user commenting, “In the era of 5G, throwing keypad phone boxes at the crowd in PSL is a laughable ‘lucky giveaway’.” While some have defended the event as a lighthearted attempt to entertain fans, others have criticized the execution and value of the giveaway, suggesting it fell short of the PSL’s usual high standards.
