India’s stupendous Test series win has been applauded by people around the globe. Fighting all odds, team India created history by emerging victorious in an emotionally-charged match against Australia. In fact, the Australian media also hailed India’s improbable win.
And the long list of admirers includes a news anchor who is supposedly from Pakistan. In a video that has been widely shared online, a Pakistani man can be seen whole-heartedly praising and congratulating the Indian team. Have a look at the video here:

In a video shared on Twitter, he praises the Men in Blue:
Team India kitne strong character ki team hai. Aur zabardast kisam ka perform kiya hai ji. Mai being a cricket fan, yakken ki jiye aaj dewana ho gaya hu….Mai aaj real meaning mai Indian team ka dewana ho gaya hu.
Several people on social media are praising the man for his sportsmanship. Also, a few people questioned if an Indian news anchor would ever do something like this.
And that's why we say Sports and culture can bridge the biggest gaps. ❤️ https://t.co/niYoTSx3V4

A good game of cricket is always appreciated, beyond borders and beyond nationalism in Pakistan – The way team India outclassed Australia in the recent series despite the hurdles is something thats praiseworthy from a cricket fan's perspective – Test Cricket at its Best. https://t.co/nZ8a0DTgD1

Will Indian media reciprocate, if Pakistan wins something big? Mind-boggling piece of media coverage, quite contrary to their mendacious counterparts. Pakistani media does these braving acts every now and then. Kudos!#INDvsAUS https://t.co/3eWHDeMwwL
