ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan, who holds the distinction of leading Pakistan World Cup 1992 winning campaign in Australia, congratulated Indian captain Virat Kohli and his team on winning the first ever series in Australia.

In his Tweet message, the prime minister congratulated Kohli for becoming the first South Asian team for winning the Test series in Australia.
