The media across the world on Thursday reported that Pakistan's former cricket hero  is poised to become Prime Minister of the nuclear armed nation after winning majority of seats in the parliament's lower house.

As Khan outlined his plan to transform Pakistan into a welfare state in a address to his nation,  foreign TV channels    broadcast his speech live for millions of people  across the globe while newspaper and news-websites published articles .

Imran's cricket career also came under spotlight  after as  the election results  came pouring in.

In one  of the reports, The New York Times, like other publishers and broadcasters, mentioned  that Khan is   a 65 years old man.   

But Jeremy Rees, a prominent journalist and a cricket fan, didn't agree that Khan has turned 65 and wrote a Twitter post, lauding Imran Khan for achieving what other cricketers have been unable to accomplish.

 ‏“Imran Khan is 65,” says @nytimes. No! He is forever 32, the mane of hair, all eyes on him, moving like a lion, ready to unleash Akram, Waqar, himself on the world. Has there ever been a top cricketer who has risen to such political heights?," he wrote.
