Former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan is celebrated as the nation’s greatest player to ever grace the field. After retiring in 1987, the legendary all-rounder made a stunning return in 1988 at the age of 36. His comeback was prompted by a request from Pakistan’s then-President, Zia Ul Haq.
Imran Khan’s remarkable return became the stuff of legends as he led Pakistan to its first and only ODI World Cup triumph in 1992. His final act in the World Cup final, where he took the last wicket of England’s innings, added to his iconic status. With this, Imran Khan bid farewell to the game, leaving a lasting legacy as one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history.
