Hey Folks... I have decided to write reviews on the Legends of Pakistan cricket, over the years. I will continue only if people respond positively. Feel free to tell me to never write again LMAO...

He dazzled the planet with his astonishing flair, he provided cricket a different name, he made cricket trendy with his individual looks and aptitude, he is and forever will be remembered by cricket fans worldwide. Imran khan, an extraordinarily talented all rounder who’s name has been mentioned a number of times in Guinness World Record as one of the most excellent all rounders in the history of cricket and has reached the pinnacle like no one else.

He was born in Lahore, into a family of six world on November 25, 1952, the only boy and seventh member of his family. His parents gave him the name Imran Khan Niazi and really cherished him given that he is the only boy in their family.

When it was time for Imran to go attend a college, he went to the esteemed public school in Lahore, the Aitchison College. There he was by far the most excellent player on his team, being a very bright batsman. He was still however relatively distant from flattering the finest in the world. As Imran grew older, his interests went from being a batsman to being a fast bowler.

At the ripe age of sixteen, Imran made his first appearance for Lahore. Imran’s well known cousins Javed Burki, and Majid Khan were a huge part of cricket for that reason when he made his test debut folks thought that he made it for the reason that his family was on the Pakistan’s Cricket Team. Later, Imran put cricket to the side and concentrated more on his education.

Unquestionably he was back once more at the still young age of eighteen. He played very well which resulted in him moving to England as he was selected to play for a private school there. As the year 1971 came, he made his test debut while visiting England. During this tour, he was fined plenty of times by the administration since he was looked upon by his colleagues as being a very stuck-up and untamed player. Also on this tour, Imran did not play as well. Because of his bad bowling, Pakistan was coasted to resolve for a draw. This was the only test match on the tour.

When Imran was twenty-one, he was accepted into the Oxford University. For three tough years he studied economics and politics. In 1974 Pakistan toured England and therefore he was selected because of his form for Oxford University and his knowledge with speaking English. He had not succeeded to make a huge mark.

Imran Khan continued to play for Sussex, because he adored it there. At this point he had developed into the so called “father” of reverse swing. His most renowned partner was Sarfraz Nawaz, in which the partners made great batsman look pathetic. Soon after, under the instructions of the top official, Imran came back to Pakistan to play test cricket for the series against India. Due to Imran’s massive success, one could effortlessly say that Imran was one of the most dearly loved cricketers from side to side.

During the early 80’s Imran was not simply at his cricketing pinnacle, but had a few relations with women. He had relationships with Susannah Costantine, ex-model Marie Helving, and artist Emma Sargeant. Some of his relations finished purely because of disparity in society and because of the hectic and traveling living of Imran. He brought a few of his relationships back home to Pakistan in which he was frowned upon because he was a being of Muslim faith.
When Imran was thirty, he became the captain of the Pakistan cricket team. He led them to a victory against England in their second test match.

In 1987, when Imran decided to retire from cricket, the team went into somewhat of a disaster .The President of Pakistan Zia ul Haq requested him individually to make a comeback, therefore he was back as a captain in 1988.

The story of the 1992 world cup is infamous amongst Pakistanis, but it’s always nice to bring it up. 1992 was the year of the World Cup Cricket competition, the most important cricket event, Pakistan’s start was not first-class and they lost a couple of games and were looking to be kicked out in early stages Imran’s fighting spirit was showcased immensely when he replied angrily that don’t come to me again and remember you are not out until you are really out when he was asked by the manager for airplane tickets. The Tiger was completely accurate as usual, he gathered his team gave them a lecture stimulated the spirits of the young team with his personality, and the team replied with going into final. In the final at the age of 39, Imran showed no signs of his age scoring highest runs for his team. And then with his inexhaustible captaincy he smacked the opponents, took the last wicket for his team and made history by winning the First and solitary World Cup for his nation.

He finished his career with an exceptional tally of 3807 runs and 362 wickets. During his infamous career, Imran had twisted the Pakistan cricket stars into the superstars they are now. The day that Imran retired was a extremely big day. So gigantic that the President of that time, Zia individually tried to stop him from retiring. Imran said with conviction like always that he sought to retire at the uppermost point of his reputation so that people would be able to remember him everlastingly. He always required his name to be in all hearts and be renowned for all his actions on the field.

Imran was a natural leader and his captaincy led his dearly loved Pakistan to victory in the 1992 World Cup finals where they took on and pounded an excellent England side.
Imran was a grand all rounder, with his in swinging fast bowling and calculated attacking batting displays he dragged his talented side to immense success down under in a miraculous World Cup final in Australia and New Zealand. His finest success was that night in Melbourne with a 22 run victory over England.

Leadership qualities are ingrained in him. IMO, he can take Pakistan to great heights, if given an opportunity. A very focussed, hardworking, uncompromising and visionary person. Cant understand, why Pakistan public is not backing him for his government.

We like to see a bit of a 'corrupt streak' in our officials

Rudi hater

Imran would not be elected as a prime minister coz we as a nation follow certain criteria to elect our leaders which is our leader has to be a murder, a theif, crook and above all know how to accept orders from USA and rest of the world. Quite clearly he does not qualify for the above criteria.
