The current Prime Minister of Pakistan was a former all-rounder for his nation. Khan made his debut for the Pakistan national cricket team at the age of 18, during the 1971 series against England. Imran without any doubt is the best ever all-rounder and captain, Pakistan has ever produced.

When it comes to ODI Imran in his 175 matches scored 3709 runs, averaging 33.41 and took 182 wickets at an average of 26.61. He managed a five-wicket haul and scored a hundred and nineteen fifty's.

In India in 1987, Khan led Pakistan in its first-ever Test series win and this was followed by Pakistan's first series victory in England during the same year. Khan's career-high as a captain and cricketer came when he led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup.
