Team India under the leadership of Virat Kohli made history on January 7, 2019. After 72 years of the wait, Indian cricket team finally registered a win on Australian soil in the test match series. Day 4 of the 5 days test match was mostly washed away by rain but the contest was already in India’s hands. India won the series by 2-1. The victory is a big one for the Indian fans and the cricketers. Kohli and the team received a lot of appreciation. With this, Pakistan’s Prime Minister appreciated team India and it was special.
Imran Khan had a great cricket career to his account and now as the PM of Pakistan, his gesture to congratulate India is very sweet. People on social media also thought that it is very appreciative that in spite of the sour relationship between the two countries, Imran congratulated India.
Imran Khan took to twitter and posted a congratulatory message for team India.
Congratulations to Virat Kohli and the Indian cricket team for the first ever win by a subcontinent team in a test series in Australia

Tweeple felt that the gesture was worth an effort. They reacted on the post with a lot of positivity.
Thank you @ImranKhanPTI. You played hard as an “opponent”, but never an “enemy”. Hope to see good times and sporting hard times between our countries once again.

As Imran mentioned, it is the first subcontinent win in a test series in Australia. With this, India has made proud the complete region. This is a very special moment and Imran’s positive words were very well accepted and appreciated. It is a good sign that the two neighbor countries can be sensible about such proud events. We hope it continues. What do you think?
