Pakistan Media Showcased Imran Khan’s Twitter Victory Over Virat As Breaking News, They Got Brutally Trolled

Pakistani cricket has been in the doldrums for the major part of the last decade. Their teams have flattered to deceive more often than not. They got completely outplayed by New Zealand when they toured them recently albeit without their skipper, Babar Azam. Hence it doesn’t come as a surprise that even a small little thing can push the morale of the Pakistani fans. But a Pakistani media news channel took things a bit too far to celebrate a pretty normal achievement otherwise. And it goes without saying that the news channel faced severe backlash for this.

The ICC to its credit went on to acknowledge the accomplishment of Imran Khan. In a social media post, it stated that “The indomitable Imran Khan has emerged as the highest-rated captain, beating Virat Kohli, Meg Lanning, and AB de Villiers in the poll.” Imran Khan is widely regarded as one of the best captains and he was inspirational to the core. The legendary Pakistani all-rounder had an average of 52.34 as the captain of the Asian giants. He captained his team to World Cup glory in 1992 when they were labelled as the cornered tigers.
