These kids made the Pakistani people proud, they achieved something that not many people are capable of and above all they worked HARD. They portrayed Pakistan in a positive light on a global platform, something that the generation before them cannot take credit for. They maybe Grammarians but they’re Pakistanis first and that my dear friend Ovais, is something you should appreciate.

“thereby clenching the top position” ? It should be clinching. Please make the necessary correction or better yet, hire some grammarians.Recommend
