There is no denying that Khan was one of the most prominent cricketers of his time. He was known for his stunning looks, exceptional skills, and strategic abilities, which made cricket in Asia all the more captivating during the 1970s. His reverse-swinging Yorkers and formidable batting made him a successful all-rounder.

Khan retired on a high note, leading his team to victory in the World Cup. He had exceptional career averages and played a pivotal role in the winning team of the 1992 World Cup.

Following his arrest, supporters of his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), clashed with police forces in various cities, resulting in the closure of schools and social media platforms.

Despite the charges against him, Khan has earned immense respect and admiration from current and former cricketers around the world, not just in Pakistan. His contributions to cricket and society have been widely recognized and appreciated.
