Pakistan came out on top when the last time World Cup was held in 1992 under captaincy of Imran Khan, who was recognized by peers as probably the best all-rounder of their generation.

Imran was a game changer and it did not matter he had the bat or ball in his hand. It was his aura, ability and attitude which always made the difference whenever Pakistan needed.

His legacy could be measured by the fact his bowling average is only lesser than Australian Glenn McGrath at 19.26 as he picked up 34 wickets in 28 matches.

Imran gave away just 655 runs in his world cup career bowling 18 maidens out of 169.3 overs which is why his bowling average of 19.26 is one of the best of all times.
