After having a delightful ODI series against South Africa consisting of one 90 and a century in a 3 match series, the Pakistani star batsman overtook Virat Kohli to top the ICC ODI rankings.
Virat Kohli kept the top spot for four long years after overtaking AB de Villiers in 2017. No other batsman was able to dethrone him yet since then.
The twittwerati calls it as the era of mughals or “mughal-e-azam”
Here are some of the funniest reactions to this event.
