Khan's maternal family has produced a number of cricketers, including those who have represented Pakistan, such as his cousins Javed Burki and Majid Khan.[34] Khan's maternal family is also a descendant of the Sufi warrior-poet and inventor of the Pashto alphabet, Pir Roshan, who hailed from his maternal family's ancestral Kaniguram town located in South Waziristan in the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan.[35] Khan was  He was taught at the Aitchison School and Basilica School in Lahore,[43][44] and afterward the Illustrious Syntax School Worcester in Britain, where he succeeded at cricket.

As a bowler, Khan at first bowled with a moderately chest-on activity, at medium-pace.[52] Anyway he endeavored to redesign his activity to a more old style type, and to fortify his body, to empower quick bowling.[53][54] Khan accomplished his prime as a quick bowler in January 1980 till 1988 when he turned out to be endlessly out quick bowler. Imran took 236 test wickets at a rate of 17.77 per wicket, including 18 five-wicket hauls and 5 10-wicket hauls. His bowling normal and strike rate were superior to Richard Hadlee (19.03), Malcolm Marshall (20.20), Dennis Lillee (24.07), Joel Earn (20.62) and Michael Holding (23.68).[55][56] In January 1983, playing against India, he achieved a Test bowling rating of 922 places. Khan achieved the all-rounder's triple (securing 3000 runs and 300 wickets) in 75 Tests, the second-fastest record behind Ian Botham's 72, and his form and performance during this period ranks third in the ICC's All-Time Test Bowling Rankings, despite being calculated retrospectively (ICC player ratings did not exist at the time).[57] He also has the second-highest batting average of any Test batsman playing at position 6 in the batting order, which is 61.86.[58] His last Test match was against Sri Lanka in January 1992 at Faisalabad. Six months after his final ODI, the historic World Cup final against England in Melbourne, Australia, in 1992, Khan retired permanently from cricket[59]. He played 88 Test matches and 126 innings and scored 3807 runs at an average of 37.69, including six centuries and 18 fifties. 136 was his highest score.

His most elevated score was 102 not out. Captaincy At the height of his career, in 1982, the thirty-year-old Khan took over the captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team from Javed Miandad.[61] As a captain, Khan played 48 Test matches, of which 14 were won by Pakistan, 8 were lost, and the remaining 26 were drawn. His best ODI bowling was 6 wickets for 14 runs, which is a record for the best bowling figures by any bowler in an ODI innings in a losing In addition, he participated in 139 one-day internationals, winning 77 of them, losing 57, and drawing one.[48] In the team's second match, Khan led them to their first victory in a Test on English soil in 28 years at Lord's.[62] Khan's first year as captain was the height of his legacy as an all-rounder and fast bowler. In 1981–1982, he took 8 wickets for 58 runs against Sri Lanka in Lahore.[48] He also topped both the batting and bowling averages against England in a three-match series in 1982, taking 21 wickets and batting at an average of 56. Later that same year, in a home series against the formidable Indian team, he put on a highly regarded performance by taking 40 wickets in six Test matches at an average of 13.95. Khan had taken 88 wickets in 13 Test matches over the course of a year as captain by the end of this series in 1982–1983.[47] However, the same Test series against India also resulted in a stress fracture in his shin, which kept him out of cricket for more than two years. In 1987, Khan led Pakistan to its first-ever Test series victory in India, which was followed by Pakistan's first series victory in England that same year[62]. During the 1980s, his team also recorded three respectable draws against the West Indies. He made a successful comeback to international cricket in the latter part of the 1984–1985 season[48]. The 1987 Cricket World Cup was co-hosted by India and Pakistan, but neither nation advanced past the semi-finals. At the conclusion of the World Cup, Khan ceased playing international cricket. In 1988, he was approached to get back to the captaincy by the Leader of Pakistan, General Zia-Ul-Haq, and on 18 January, he reported his choice to rejoin the team.[48] Not long after getting back to the captaincy, Khan drove Pakistan to one more winning visit in the West Indies, which he has related as "the last time I truly bowled well".[35] He was pronounced Man of the Series against West Indies in 1988 when he took 23 wickets in 3 Tests.[48] Khan's profession high as a skipper and cricketer came when he drove Pakistan to triumph in the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Playing with a weak batting line-up, Khan advanced himself as a batsman to play in the top request alongside Javed Miandad, yet his commitment as a bowler was negligible. Khan took the winning last wicket himself at the age of 39.[47] Khan at a political rally in Peshawar in 1996 after retiring. After retiring, Khan said that ball tampering occurred when he played domestic cricket in his early days. Khan had claimed that he "occasionally scratched the side of the ball and lifted the seam" during matches. However, Khan defended his actions in the same interview, arguing that even spin bowlers would lift the seam, which is considered to be mild ball tampering, at the time. Khan also argued that because he did not lift the seam of the ball above the normal level, he was not in violation of the game's rules or the spirit of the game as defined when he was a player. Khan added, "The sole judge of fair and unfair play on the cricket field is the umpire."[63] He also said, "Only once did I use an object." Khan argued that in his 21 years playing cricket, no umpires had complained about his behavior. In 1981, when Sussex played Hampshire, the ball did not deviate at all. A bottle top started to move a lot after I got the 12th man to bring it out. "[64] In 1996, Khan effectively guarded himself in a defamation activity delivered by previous English commander and all-rounder Ian Botham and batsman Allan Sheep over remarks they claimed were made by Khan in two articles about the previously mentioned ball-altering and one more article distributed in an Indian magazine, India Today. They asserted that Khan had referred to the two cricketers as "racist, ill-educated, and lacking in class" in the most recent publication. Khan claimed that he had been misquoted and was defending himself after admitting that he had tampered with a ball in a county match 18 years earlier.[65] Khan won the libel case, which the judge called a "complete exercise in futility," with a jury decision of 10–2.[65] Khan had also worked as a domestic league coach.[66] Khan was chancellor of the University of Bradford from November 2005 until November 2014.

Khan also makes occasional appearances as a cricket commentator on Asian and British sports networks, such as BBC Urdu[69] and the Star TV network[70]. In 2004, when the Indian cricket team traveled to Pakistan for the first time in 14 years, he was a commentator on the special live show Straight Drive[71] on TEN Sports, and he also wrote a column for sify.com during the 2005 India-Pakistan Test series. He has provided analysis for every cricket World Cup since 1992, including match summaries for the BBC during the 1999 World Cup.[72] As a captain, he holds the world record for taking the most wickets, best bowling strike rate, and best bowling average in a Test,[73][74] and the best bowling figures (8 wickets for 60 runs) in a Test innings,[75] as well as the most five-wicket hauls (6) in a Test innings in wins.

In Pakistan, it has assisted flood victims.

The campaign will set up several Solar Charging Stations in the selected off-grid villages and give the villagers solar lanterns that can be charged at the stations on a regular basis.[88][89] Political ideology Khan is generally characterized as a nationalist[91] and a populist[92] based on the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal and the Iranian writer-sociologist Ali Shariati he encountered in his youth.[90][90] Islamic principles, to which he returned in the 1990s; liberal economics, promising economic deregulation and the establishment of a welfare state; reducing bureaucracy and enforcing anti-corruption laws to establish and guarantee a clean government; the foundation of an autonomous legal executive; reorganization of the country's police force; what's more, an enemy of assailant vision for a majority rule Pakistan.[93][70][94][95]
