Imran Khan

Biography

Imran Khan was the charismatic leader who turned talented individuals into a team, and that team into world champions. His Pakistan side was mercurial, brilliant, frustrating - capable of beating anyone or losing to everyone on their day. Imran's force of personality held them together, and at the 1992 World Cup, at age 39, he produced one last magnificent act. Batting at three, bowling his quick seamers, marshaling his troops, he dragged Pakistan to their greatest triumph. But his cricket career was just the first act: he would go on to build a cancer hospital, enter politics, and become Prime Minister of Pakistan. From Oxford blue to World Cup winner to national leader, his life reads like an improbable novel.
