Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly today congratulated legendary Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan, who is poised to become his country's prime minister after more than two decades of political struggle. The 1992 World Cup-winning captain led his party to power in the country's general elections.

"Congratulations to him. He has been fighting for a long time and now he is set to become the prime minister of Pakistan," the Cricket Association of Bengal president said at its annual awards ceremony here. Imran's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf won 115 out of the 272 seats in National Assembly. Earlier the CAB gave U-19 pacer Ishan Porel the best U-19 cricketer of the year award and named Dipti Sharma as the best senior women's cricketer.
