Ganguly about Pakistan Cricketer

New Delhi, July 27: Bengal Dada Sourav Ganguly on Friday congratulated cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, who is set to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan, saying the iconic former World Cup-winning captain fought hard to reach the high office.

"Politics I have got no idea, but congratulations (to him)," Ganguly told reporters on the sidelines of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB)'s annual awards ceremony here.

Ganguly also added that, "He has been fighting for a long time and now he is set to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan. So again congratulations,"

Rated as one of the best all-rounders of all time, Imran, who led Pakistan to the 1992 World Cup victory, is all set to be the 19th Prime Minister after his party Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) emerged as the single largest party but is short of a majority in the National Assembly elections.
