Not just the public, PM Khan’s cabinet also took to social media to celebrate the poll result:
In all fairness, the poll doesn't fully reflect the massive differential.

Imran Khan is inarguably the greatest cricketer and skipper to emerge from Sub Continent.
Kohli deserves lots of respect but it is unfair to pitch him against the original King Khan.#PakistanShocksIndia pic.twitter.com/wARPSAcmsi

The poll’s result is perhaps being regarded as India’s loss and Khan’s victory leaving Pakistani Twitterati jubilant.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli stood second on the list with just a small difference of 1.1% votes between him and Khan. However, many came out claiming that Kholi’s votes were cast by a number of fake accounts.
The Indian Bots Army it seems didn't like the last one second of the poll.#PakistanShocksIndia pic.twitter.com/OeElySQ50p
