Imran
Khan
Pakistan
One of the greatest all-rounders to ever play the game, Imran Khan led Pakistan to ICC Cricket World Cup glory in 1992 in Australia.
Player Bio
One of the finest cricketers to emerge from Pakistan, Imran Khan’s average with the ball was an envious 22.81 in Test cricket. However, 362 wickets in Tests and 182 ODI wickets are not the only impressive figures next to his name. Imran was an all-rounder whose batting alone could have fetched him a place in the team, as his Test batting average of 37.69 would suggest.
He had great success as captain, leading Pakistan to the World Cup win in 1992. His other achievements as a leader include three drawn Test series against the West Indies at a time when West Indies dominated every other team.
