Pakistan and India may be rivals on the field, but off-field, they are very good friends. One example of the friendship is Shoaib Akhtar and Sourav Ganguly.
Akhtar took it to Twitter to wish the former Indian cricket captain team a happy 46th birthday on 8th July.
The Rawalpindi Express tweeted “1 of most important Cricketer & captain in Hindustan history the person who made India believe that they can win against Pakistan & abroad ..
Sourav Ganguly.. happy birthday wish you best ..#SouravGanguly”

Akhtar writes that he is the one who made India believe that they could win against Pakistan. This stirred a debate on social media with mixed reactions. While some acknowledged this statement, some went against the claim.
