Iconic Pakistan all-rounder Imran Khan had heaped praise on the national team after their comprehensive nine-wicket win over England in the first Test at Lord’s.

Imran, who led Pakistan to World Cup glory in 1992, admitted that he was highly impressed at how Sarfraz Ahmed’s side tormented and punished England throughout the match.

He also lauded the side for silencing all the critics who thought they would struggle against England and fail to adapt to the conditions.

Congratulations to the Pak cricket team for a great win against England at Lords. This was a team hardly any expert gave a chance of beating England & that too so comprehensively. A great team effort. Last time I landed in Karachi Pak won Champions trophy & today the Lords Test!
