Top 5 seam-bowling all-rounders of all time

#3 Imran Khan

Imran Khan

Former captain Imran Khan is perhaps the most influential cricketer in the history of the Pakistan cricket and his influence was not only restricted to his role as the nation's leading bowler for much of his career but also as a seriously gifted batsman. Imran could bat at any position and in fact, in Pakistan's triumphant World Cup campaign back in 1992, he primarily played as a batsman and batted at number 3. He top scored for Pakistan in that final with a fine 72.

In 88 Test matches, he picked up 362 wickets and in the 175 one-dayers, he snared 182 wickets to confirm his status as one of the all-time great bowlers. However, he shone as a batsman as well. In Tests, he scored six centuries and as many as 18 half-centuries at an average of 37.69. In one-dayers, Imran scored one century and 19 half-centuries, at an average of 33.41 and a strike rate of 72.65.

For most of his career in the 1980s and later, Imran reigned as one of the world's best seam-bowling all-rounders.
