Explanation

Born on October 5, 1952, in Lahore, the provincial capital of the Punjab province, PM Imran went on to get his education from prestigious schools like Aitchison College, Royal Grammar School and Oxford University. He was, however, more inclined for a career in sports, and made his first-class cricket debut at the age of just 16 in Lahore. He spearheaded the Pakistani fast-bowling attack in the 1980s and was a decent batsman. The greatest triumph of his life, barring his ascent to the most powerful office in Pakistan a year ago, came in 1992 when he won the One-Day International Cricket World Cup with Pakistan in Australia. PM Imran is the 22nd Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the head of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, and a former World Cup-winning captain of the Pakistan cricket team. He also leads a large philanthropic initiative with branches in many countries, chief among them being the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital here in Pakistan, and a host of other charity programs.
