#3 Imran Khan, Mr Prime Minister

Pakistani Elites Discuss Pakistan And Democracy In Washington

World Cup-winning captain Imran Khan is all set to be Pakistan's Prime Minister, with his party, the Tehreek-e-Insaf, winning the general elections in the country. From claiming the World Cup trophy for Pakistan in 1992 to becoming the PM of his country 26 years later, the story of Imran Khan, one of the greatest all-rounders the world has ever seen, has been a stirring one.

Several cricketers, some his ex-teammates, congratulated the 65-year-old for his ascendancy to power, taking to social media to send their wishes:

A special speech from a Great Leader..Very simple, honest and practical..Feeling so proud to be a student of such a Mentor.. Congratulations Skipper @ImranKhanPTI #BehindYouSkipper #NayaPakistan
