Pakistan are currently playing a two-Test series against Sri Lanka while the country is undergoing a difficult political phase.

The economic crisis in Sri Lanka has destabilized the country and has posed a lot of problems. However, despite the tough political landscape of the country, Pakistan did not pull out of the series to support Sri Lanka.

Historically speaking Pakistan and Sri Lanka have always extended a helping hand to each other in testing times. Previously, Sri Lanka travelled to Pakistan while most international cricketing nations refuted the idea of doing so.

Appreciating the Pakistan cricket team's efforts, Sri Lankan captain Dimuth Karunarathna took it to social media to appreciate their efforts.

"True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart," wrote the captain.

Pakistan won the first match and made it a historic victory and are on course to chase a huge 508-run target in the second Test match.
