Imran Khan

Before his political career, Imran was one of the great fast-bowling all-rounders and, with Sarfraz Nawaz, a pioneer of reverse swing, making an old ball swing late on dry Pakistani pitches. His leap at the crease and side-on action generated pace and movement. His 40 wickets in the 1982-83 home series against India showed what reverse swing could do on surfaces that offered seamers nothing.
