The world of cricket, including Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev, and netizens have flooded Twitter with congratulations for the young seamer with his name trending on Twitter throughout the day.
Hassan Ali’s heroic brings historic win for Pakistan on home soil after 17 years against South Africa.
Congratulations, Team Green! #PakvRSA

10-wicket-haul for @RealHa55an! That’s only the second 10-fer by a Pakistani pacer in the last 14 years (Mohammad Abbas being the other one).
That’s also the first 10-fer by a Pakistani at home since @shoaib100mph in 2003 against Bangladesh.#PAKvSA pic.twitter.com/0O0cdvEk98
