Pak Media Shows Imran Khan’s Twitter Poll Win Over Virat Kohli As Breaking News, Gets Roasted
The rivalry between India and Pakistan is not only on the border but also on the sports field, especially in the game of cricket and now this rivalry has reached the micro-blogging site Twitter as well.
There is no denying the fact that the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan is one of the best cricketers of all times and it was under his leadership that Pakistan won the Cricket World Cup 1992. Imran Khan may be slammed a lot when it comes to his achievements as the Prime Minister of the country but when it comes to cricket, nobody will deny that he has been one of the best skippers that Pakistan has ever had.
Recently, a poll was conducted by the official Twitter handle of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in which they asked cricket fans to tell which cricketer’s average increased after they became captains. The contest was among four cricketers, Indian skipper Virat Kohli, former Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan, South African cricketer AB de Villiers and Australian woman cricketer Meg Lanning.
Here is the tweet:
Captaincy proved a blessing for some extraordinary cricketers 🧢🏏
Their averages improved as leaders 📈
You decide which of these ‘pacesetters’ were the best among these geniuses! pic.twitter.com/yWEp4WgMun

Soon there was throat cut competition between the Indian skipper and former Pakistani cricketer and few hours later, ICC announced the results as per which Imran Khan was declared the winner with 47.3% votes. On the other hand, Virat Kohli was little bit behind the Pakistani PM with 46.2 % and the other two cricketers were far behind as Meg Lanning got only 0.5% and AB de Villiers was voted by 6% people only.
Who would you rate as the best among these giants?

As far as cricket lovers were concerned, this poll may have given them something to remain busy for some hours but all hells broke loose when a Pakistani news channel made it the breaking news. The news channel not only dedicated a full segment to this poll but also called the former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Qadir to talk in this regard.
