"Miracle": Twitter Reacts As Pakistan Achieve First Test Win In 365 Days

Pakistan opened their ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle campaign with a four-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test match at Galle on Thursday. With the win, the Babar Azam-led side ended a 365-day drought for a win in the longest format of the game. Saud Shakeel stood out for Pakistan with his maiden Test double century as Pakistan overcame a top-order collapse in the first innings to take a sizeable lead, and eventually come out on top against the hosts.

With Pakistan winning a Test for the first time in a year, fans took to Twitter to express their emotions.
