The current Pakistan Prime Minister is one of the greatest players to have played the gentleman’s game. He has been a part of Pakistan’s team in 5 World Cups in which he scored 666 runs and scalped 34 wickets in 28 games. He has stroked a century and has two 4-refers to his name. Imran Khan inspired a lot of players with his audacity as he was the first genuine fast bowler from Pakistan.

The legend of Pakistan cricket played his maiden World Cup in 1975 where he played only a couple of games, and in the following edition also he was not able to weave his magic. The all-rounder showed his class in the 1987 edition where he scored 147 runs and picked up 17 wickets in 7 games. Imran Khan’s notable innings have to be his unbeaten century against Sri Lanka in the 1983 edition. He has a great cricketing brain and won the championship in 1992 as the captain of the team.
