Cricket world hails Imran Khan’s political trumpet

Cricketing stars have lent their support and congratulated the former Pakistan captain Imran Khan on his party’s massive victory in the general elections.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)  pulled a major shocker on the former ruling party, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), by securing a significant lead in the National Assembly race.

Former Indian World Cup winning captain captain Kapil Dev said: “Firstly, I’d like to congratulate him [Imran] on this huge achievement.”

“Winning a World Cup is one thing but leading a nation is a completely different ball game all together,” he said.

Dev went on to say, “To be honest his [Imran’s] achievements in cricket pale in comparison to leading a country.”

Congrat PTI and @ImranKhanPTI on a truly historic victory! The 22 yr old struggle has finally paid off & deservedly. Pakistanis have a lot of expectations from u I really hope u lead from the front! I request all opposing parties& media to accept the result and help rebuild
