They couldn't stop gushing about Imran Khan's leadership prowess as Pakistani cricketers -- past and present -- congratulated the World Cup-winning former captain for leading his party to power in the country's general elections.
"Congratulating the new Prime Minister of our Country. It was all very formal but I still got to call him Skipper.#ImranKhanPrimeMinister," tweeted Wasim Akram, a former teammate of Imran and himself a former captain.
"A cricketer who became a politician? Or a man who was born to serve this nation, protect our people and lead us in to our own. And one day they will say, that this same man was once a phenomenal cricketer. The time is now for change, Our country Our history!," read one of his earlier tweets, lauding Imran's journey.
