Khan made his first-class cricket debut at the age of 16 in Lahore. By the start of the 1970s, he was playing for his home teams of
Lahore A (1969–70), Lahore B (1969–70), Lahore Greens (1970–71) and, eventually, Lahore (1970–71).[47] Khan was part of the
University of Oxford's Blues Cricket team during the 1973–1975 seasons.[46] At Worcestershire, where he played county cricket
from 1971 to 1976, he was regarded as only an average medium-pace bowler. During this decade, other teams represented by
Khan included Dawood Industries (1975–1976) and Pakistan International Airlines (1975–1976 to 1980–1981). From 1983 to
1988, he played for Sussex.[17]
Khan made his Test cricket debut against England in June 1971 at Edgbaston.[48] Three years later, in August 1974, he debuted in
the One Day International (ODI) match, once again playing against England at Trent Bridge for the Prudential Trophy.[48] After
graduating from Oxford and finishing his tenure at Worcestershire, he returned to Pakistan in 1976 and secured a permanent place
on his native national team starting from the 1976–1977 season, during which they faced New Zealand and Australia.[47]
Following the Australian series, he toured the West Indies, where he met Tony Greig, who signed him up for Kerry Packer's
World Series Cricket.[17] His credentials as one of the fastest bowlers in the world started to become established when he finished
third at 139.7 km/h in a fast bowling contest at Perth in 1978, behind Jeff Thomson and Michael Holding, but ahead of Dennis
Lillee, Garth Le Roux and Andy Roberts.[49] During the late 1970s, Khan was one of the pioneers of the reverse swing bowling
technique. He imparted this trick to the bowling duo of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, who mastered and popularised this art
in later years.[50]
As a fast bowler, Khan reached his peak in 1982. In 9 Tests, he took 62 wickets at 13.29 each, the lowest average of any bowler in
Test history with at least 50 wickets in a calendar year.[51] In January 1983, playing against India, he attained a Test bowling
rating of 922 points. Although calculated retrospectively (International Cricket Council (ICC) player ratings did not exist at the
time), Khan's form and performance during this period ranks third in the ICC's All-Time Test Bowling Rankings.[52]
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. He also has the second-highest all-time batting average of 61.86 for a Test batsman playing at position 6 in the
batting order.[53] He played his last Test match for Pakistan in January 1992, against Sri Lanka at Faisalabad. Khan retired
permanently from cricket six months after his last ODI, the historic 1992 World Cup final against England in Melbourne,
Australia.[54] He ended his career with 88 Test matches, 126 innings and scored 3807 runs at an average of 37.69, including six
centuries and 18 fifties. His highest score was 136. As a bowler, he took 362 wickets in Test cricket, which made him the first
Pakistani and world's fourth bowler to do so.[17] In ODIs, he played 175 matches and scored 3709 runs at an average of 33.41.
His highest score was 102 not out. His best ODI bowling was 6 wickets for 14 runs, a record for the best bowling figures by any
bowler in an ODI innings in a losing cause.[55]
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.[56] As a captain, Khan played 48 Test matches, of which 14 were won by Pakistan, 8 lost and the remaining 26 were
drawn. He also played 139 ODIs, winning 77, losing 57 and ending one in a tie.[17]
In the team's second match, Khan led them to their first Test win on English soil for 28 years at Lord's.[57] Khan's first year as
captain was the peak of his legacy as a fast bowler as well as an all-rounder. He recorded the best Test bowling of his career while
taking 8 wickets for 58 runs against Sri Lanka at Lahore in 1981–1982.[17] He also topped both the bowling and batting averages
against England in three Test series in 1982, taking 21 wickets and averaging 56 with the bat. Later the same year, he put up a
highly acknowledged performance in a home series against the formidable Indian team by taking 40 wickets in six Tests at an
average of 13.95. By the end of this series in 1982–1983, Khan had taken 88 wickets in 13 Test matches over a period of one year
as captain.[47] This same Test series against India, however, also resulted in a stress fracture in his shin that kept him out of
cricket for more than two years. An experimental treatment funded by the Pakistani government helped him recover by the end of
1984 and he made a successful comeback to international cricket in the latter part of the 1984–1985 season.[17]
In India in 1987, Khan led Pakistan in its first-ever Test series win and this was followed by Pakistan's first series victory in
England during the same year.[57] During the 1980s, his team also recorded three creditable draws against the West Indies. India
and Pakistan co-hosted the 1987 Cricket World Cup, but neither ventured beyond the semi-finals. Khan retired from international
cricket at the end of the World Cup. In 1988, he was asked to return to the captaincy by the President of Pakistan, General Zia-Ul-
Haq, and on 18 January, he announced his decision to rejoin the team.[17] Soon after returning to the captaincy, Khan led Pakistan
to another winning tour in the West Indies, which he has recounted as "the last time I really bowled well".[37] He was declared
Man of the Series against West Indies in 1988 when he took 23 wickets in 3 Tests.[17] Khan's career-high as a captain and
cricketer came when he led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Playing with a brittle batting line-up, Khan
promoted himself as a batsman to play in the top order along with Javed Miandad, but his contribution as a bowler was minimal.
At the age of 39, Khan took the winning last wicket himself.[47]
Post-retirement
In 1994, Khan had admitted that, during Test matches, he "occasionally
scratched the side of the ball and lifted the seam." He had also added, "Only
once did I use an object. When Sussex were playing Hampshire in 1981 the ball
was not deviating at all. I got the 12th man to bring out a bottle top and it started
to move around a lot."[58] In 1996, Khan successfully defended himself in a libel
action brought forth by former English captain and all-rounder Ian Botham and
batsman Allan Lamb over comments they alleged were made by Khan in two
articles about the above-mentioned ball-tampering and another article published
Khan at a political rally in Peshawar
in an Indian magazine, India Today. They claimed that, in the latter publication,
in 1996
Khan had called the two cricketers "racist, ill-educated and lacking in class."
Khan protested that he had been misquoted, saying that he was defending
himself after having admitted that he tampered with a ball in a county match 18 years ago.[59] Khan won the libel case, which the
judge labelled a "complete exercise in futility", with a 10–2 majority decision by the jury.[59]
Since retiring, Khan has written opinion pieces on cricket for various British and
Asian newspapers, especially regarding the Pakistani national team. His
contributions have been published in India's Outlook magazine,[60] the
Guardian,[61] the Independent, and the Telegraph. Khan also sometimes appears
as a cricket commentator on Asian and British sports networks, including BBC
Urdu[62] and the Star TV network.[63] In 2004, when the Indian cricket team
toured Pakistan after 14 years, he was a commentator on TEN Sports' special
Khan served as the chancellor of the live show, Straight Drive,[64] while he was also a columnist for sify.com for the
University of Bradford between 2005 India-Pakistan Test series. He has provided analysis for every cricket

during the 1999 World Cup.[65] He holds as a captain the world record for taking
most wickets, best bowling strike rate and best bowling average in Test,[66][67]
and best bowling figures (8 wickets for 60 runs) in a Test innings,[68] and also most five-wicket hauls (6) in a Test innings in
wins.[69]
On 23 November 2005, Khan was appointed as the chancellor of University of Bradford, succeeding Baroness Lockwood.[70] On
26 February 2014, University of Bradford Union floated a motion to remove Khan from the post over Khan's absence from every
graduation ceremony since 2010.[71][72] Khan, however, announced that he will step down on 30 November 2014, citing his
"increasing political commitments".[73] The university vice-chancellor Brian Cantor said Khan had been "a wonderful role model
for our students".[74][75]
Philanthropy
During the 1990s, Khan also served as UNICEF's Special Representative for Sports[76] and promoted health and immunisation
programmes in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand.[77] While in London, he also works with the Lord's Taverners, a
cricket charity.[20] Khan focused his efforts solely on social work. By 1991, he had founded the Shaukat Khanum Memorial
Trust, a charity organisation bearing the name of his mother, Mrs. Shaukat Khanum. As the Trust's maiden endeavour, Khan
established Pakistan's first and only cancer hospital, constructed using donations and funds exceeding $25 million, raised by
Khan from all over the world.[20][78]
On 27 April 2008, Khan established a technical college in the Mianwali District called Namal College. It was built by the
Mianwali Development Trust (MDT), and is an associate college of the University of Bradford in December 2005.[79][80] Imran
Khan Foundation is another welfare work, which aims to assist needy people all over Pakistan. It has provided help to flood
victims in Pakistan. Buksh Foundation has partnered with the Imran Khan Foundation to light up villages in Dera Ghazi Khan,
Mianwali and Dera Ismail Khan under the project 'Lighting a Million Lives'. The campaign will establish several Solar Charging
Stations in the selected off-grid villages and will provide villagers with solar lanterns, which can be regularly charged at the solar-
charging stations.[81][82]
Political ideology
Basing his wider paradigm on the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal and the Iranian writer-sociologist Ali Shariati he came
across in his youth,[83] Khan is generally described as a nationalist[84] and a populist.[85] Khan's proclaimed political platform
and declarations include: Islamic values, to which he rededicated himself in the 1990s; liberal economics, with the promise of
deregulating the economy and creating a welfare state; decreased bureaucracy and the implementation of anti-corruption laws, to
create and ensure a clean government; the establishment of an independent judiciary; overhaul of the country's police system; and
an anti-militant vision for a democratic Pakistan.[86][63][87][88]
Khan publicly demanded a Pakistani apology towards the Bangladeshi people

for the atrocities committed in 1971,[89][90] He called the 1971 operation a
"blunder"[91] and likened it to today's treatment of Pashtuns in the war on
terror.[90] However, he repeatedly criticised the war crimes trials in Bangladesh
in favour of the convicts.[92] Khan is often mocked as "Taliban Khan" because
of his pacifist stance regarding the war in North-West Pakistan. He believes in
negotiations with Taliban and the pull out of the Pakistan Army from Federally
Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). He is against US drone strikes and plans to
Imran Khan speaking at the Chatham
disengage Pakistan from the US-led war on terror. Khan also opposes almost all
House in London
military operations, including the Siege of Lal Masjid.[93][94]
In August 2012, the Pakistani Taliban issued death threats if he went ahead with
his march to their tribal stronghold along the Afghan border to protest US drone attacks, because he calls himself a "liberal" – a
term they associate with a lack of religious belief.[95] On 1 October 2012, prior to his plan to address a rally in South Waziristan,
senior commanders of Pakistani Taliban said after a meeting headed by the Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud that they now
offered Khan security assistance for the rally because of Khan's opposition to drone attacks in Pakistan, reversing their previous
stance.[96]
In 2014, when Pakistani Taliban announced armed struggle against Ismaili Muslims (denouncing them as non-Muslims)[97] and
the Kalash people, Khan released a statement describing "forced conversions as un-Islamic".[98] He has also condemned the
incidents of forced conversion of Hindu girls in Sindh.[99] Khan views the Kashmir issue as a humanitarian issue, as opposed to a
territorial dispute between two countries (India and Pakistan). He also proposed secret talks to settle the issue as he thinks the
vested interests on both sides will try to subvert them. He ruled out a military solution to the conflict and denied the possibility of
a fourth war between India and Pakistan over the disputed mountainous region.[100]
On 8 January 2015, Khan visited the embassies of Iran and Saudi Arabia in Islamabad and met their head of commissions to
understand their stances about the conflict which engulfed both nations after the execution of Sheikh Nimr by Saudi Arabia. He
urged the Government of Pakistan to play a positive role to resolve the matter between both countries.[101] In April 2015, after
parliament passed a unanimous resolution keeping Pakistan out of the War in Yemen, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-
Insaf (PTI) as part of opposition, took credit for the decision.[102] Khan might not be able to stick to his previous stance, as Saudi
loans and investment are crucial amid the precarious state of Pakistan's economy.[103] In July 2018, the Saudi-based Islamic
Development Bank activated its $4.5 billion oil financing facility for Pakistan.[104]
After the result of 2018 Pakistani general election, Imran Khan said he would try to remake Pakistan based on the ideology of
Muhammad Ali Jinnah.[105]
Political career
Initial years
Khan was offered political position few times during his cricketing career. In
1987, then-President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq offered him a political position in
Pakistan Muslim League (PML) which he declined.[106] He was also invited by
Nawaz Sharif to join his political party.[106]
In late 1994, he joined a pressure group led by former Inter-Services Intelligence

(ISI) chief Hamid Gul and Muhammad Ali Durrani who was head of Pasban, a
breakaway youth wing of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan. The same year, he also
showed his interest in joining politics.[106] Khan tearing his nomination paper
for National Assembly at a press
On 25 April 1996, Khan founded a political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
conference; he boycotted the 2008
(PTI).[37][107] He ran for the seat of National Assembly of Pakistan in 1997 elections.
Pakistani general election as a candidate of PTI from two constituencies – NA-
53, Mianwali and NA-94, Lahore – but was unsuccessful and lost both the seats
to candidates of PML (N).[108]
Khan supported General Pervez Musharraf's military coup in 1999,[109] believing Musharraf would "end corruption, clear out the
political mafias".[110] According to Khan, he was Musharraf's choice for prime minister in 2002 but turned down the offer.[111]
Khan participated in the October 2002 Pakistani general election that took place across 272 constituencies and was prepared to
form a coalition if his party did not get a majority of the vote.[112] He was elected from Mianwali.[113] In the 2002 referendum,
Khan supported military dictator General Musharraf, while all mainstream democratic parties declared that referendum as
unconstitutional.[114] He has also served as a part of the Standing Committees on Kashmir and Public Accounts.[115] On 6 May
2005, Khan was mentioned in The New Yorker as being the "most directly responsible" for drawing attention in the Muslim world
to the Newsweek story about the alleged desecration of the Qur'an in a US military prison at the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in
Cuba.[116] In June 2007, Khan faced political opponents in and outside the parliament.[117]
On 2 October 2007, as part of the All Parties Democratic Movement, Khan joined 85 other MPs to resign from Parliament in
protest of the presidential election scheduled for 6 October, which general Musharraf was contesting without resigning as army
chief.[27] On 3 November 2007, Khan was put under house arrest, after president Musharraf declared a state of emergency in
Pakistan. Later Khan escaped and went into hiding.[118] He eventually came out of hiding on 14 November to join a student
protest at the University of the Punjab.[119] At the rally, Khan was captured by student activists from the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba
and roughly treated.[120] He was arrested during the protest and was sent to the Dera Ghazi Khan jail in the Punjab province
where he spent a few days before being released.[121]
On 30 October 2011, Khan addressed more than 100,000 supporters in Lahore, challenging the policies of the government,
calling that new change a "tsunami" against the ruling parties,[122] Another successful public gathering of hundreds of thousands
of supporters was held in Karachi on 25 December 2011.[123] Since then Khan became a real threat to the ruling parties and a
future political prospect in Pakistan. According to a International Republican Institute's survey, Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
tops the list of popular parties in Pakistan both at the national and provincial level.[124][125]
On 6 October 2012, Khan joined a vehicle caravan of protesters from Islamabad

to the village of Kotai in Pakistan's South Waziristan region against US drone
missile strikes.[126][127] On 23 March 2013, Khan introduced the Naya Pakistan
Resolution (New Pakistan) at the start of his election campaign.[128] On 29 April
The Observer termed Khan and his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf as the main
opposition to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.[129] Between 2011 and 2013,
Khan and Nawaz Sharif began to engage each other in a bitter feud. The rivalry
between the two leaders grew in late 2011 when Khan addressed his largest
Imran Khan at the conference "Rule
crowd at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore.[130] From 26 April 2013, in the run up to
of Law: The Case of Pakistan"
the elections, both the PML-N and the PTI started to criticise each other.[131]
organized by the Heinrich Böll
Foundation in Berlin.
2013 elections campaign

On 21 April 2013, Khan launched his final public relations campaign for the
2013 elections from Lahore where he addressed thousands of supporters at the
Mall.[132] Khan announced that he would pull Pakistan out of the US-led war on
terror and bring peace to the Pashtun tribal belt.[133] He addressed different
public meetings in various cities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other parts of
country where he announced that PTI will introduce a uniform education system
in which the children of rich and poor will have equal opportunities.[134] Khan
ended his south Punjab campaign by addressing rallies in various Seraiki belt
Khan with US Secretary of State
cities.[135] John Kerry after the 2013 elections
Khan ended the campaign by addressing a rally of supporters in Islamabad via a

video link while lying on a bed at a hospital in Lahore.[136] The last survey before the elections by The Herald showed 24.98
percent of voters nationally planned to vote for his party, just a whisker behind former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's PML-
N.[137][138] On 7 May, just four days before the elections, Khan was rushed to Shaukat Khanum hospital in Lahore after he
tumbled from a forklift at the edge of a stage and fell headfirst to the ground.[139][140] Pakistan's 2013 elections were held on 11
May 2013 throughout the country. The elections resulted in a clear majority of Pakistan Muslim League (N).[141][142] Khan's PTI
emerged as the second largest party by popular vote nationally including in Karachi.[143][144] Khan's party PTI won 30 directly
elected parliamentary seats and became third largest party in National Assembly behind Pakistan People's Party, which was
second.[145]
In opposition
Khan led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf became the opposition party in Punjab and Sindh. Khan became the parliamentary leader of
his party.[146][147] On 31 July 2013 Khan was issued a contempt of court notice for allegedly criticising the superior
judiciary,[148] and his use of the word shameful for the judiciary. The notice was discharged after Khan submitted before the
Supreme Court that he criticised the lower judiciary for their actions during the May 2013 general election while those judicial
officers were working as returning officers.[149] Khan's party swooped the militancy-hit northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(KPK), and formed the provincial government.[150][151] PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government presented a balanced, tax-free
budget for the fiscal year 2013–14.[152]
Khan believed that terrorist activities by Pakistani Taliban can be stopped through dialogue with them and even offered to open
an office in KPK province. He accused the US of sabotaging peace efforts with the Pakistani Taliban by killing its leader
Hakimullah Mehsud. He demanded government to block NATO supply line in retaliation for killing of the TTP leader.[153]
On 13 November 2013, Khan, being party leader, ordered Pervez Khattak to dismiss ministers of Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) who
were allegedly involved in corruption. Bakht Baidar and Ibrar Hussan Kamoli of Qaumi Watan Party, ministers for Manpower &
Industry and Forest & Environment respectively, were dismissed.[154] Khan ordered Chief Minister KPK to end the alliance with
QWP. Chief Minister KPK also dismissed Minister for Communication and Works of PTI Yousuf Ayub Khan due to a fake
degree.[155]
A year after elections, on 11 May 2014, Khan alleged that 2013 general elections
were rigged in favour of the ruling PML (N).[156] On 14 August 2014, Imran
Khan led a rally of supporters from Lahore to Islamabad, demanding Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif's resignation and investigation into alleged electoral
fraud.[157] On its way to the capital Khan's convoy was attacked by stones from
PML (N) supporters in Gujranwala; however, there were no fatalities.[158] Khan
was reported to be attacked with guns which forced him to travel in a bullet-
Play media
proof vehicle.[159] On 15 August, Khan-led protesters entered the capital and a Voice of America reports on Imran
few days later marched into the high-security Red Zone; on 1 September 2014, Khan-led protests in late 2014
according to Al Jazeera, protesters attempted to storm Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif's official residence, which prompted the outbreak of violence. Three
people died and more than 595 people were injured, including 115 police officers.[160] Prior to the violence that resulted in
deaths, Khan asked his followers to take law into their own hands.[161]
By September, Khan had entered into a de facto alliance with Canadian-Pakistani cleric Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri; both have
aimed to mobilise their supporters for regime change.[162][163] Khan entered into an agreement with Sharif administration to
establish a three-member high-powered judicial commission which would be formed under a presidential ordinance. The
commission would make its final report public. If the commission finds a country-wide pattern of rigging proved, the prime
minister would dissolve the national and provincial assemblies in terms of the articles 58(1) and 112(1) of the Constitution –
thereby meaning that the premier would also appoint the caretaker setup in consultation with the leader of opposition and fresh
elections would be held.[164] He also met Syed Mustafa Kamal, when he was in the opposition.
2018 general election

Imran Khan contested the general election from NA-35 (Bannu), NA-53 (Islamabad-II), NA-95 (Mianwali-I), NA-131 (Lahore-
IX), and NA-243 (Karachi East-II).[165] According to early, official results, Khan led the poll, although his opposition, mainly
PML-N, alleged large-scale vote rigging and administrative malpractices.[166][167][168] On 27 July, election officials declared that
Khan's party had won 110 of the 269 seats,[29] giving PTI a plurality in the National Assembly.[169] At the conclusion of the
count on 28 July, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced that the PTI had won a total of 116 of the 270 seats
contested. Khan became the first person in the history of Pakistan general elections who contested and won in all five
constituencies, surpassing Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who contested in four but won in three constituencies in 1970.[170][171]
Election controversies
A number of opposition parties have alleged "massive rigging" in Khan's favor amid allegations of military interference in the
general elections.[172] Nawaz Sharif and his PML-N party, in particular, claimed that a conspiracy between the judiciary and
military had influenced the election in favour of Khan and PTI.[173] The Election Commission, however, rejected allegations of
rigging and Sharif and his PML-N later conceded victory to Khan, despite lingering 'reservations' regarding the result.[174][175]
Two days after the 2018 general elections were held, the chief observer of the European Union Election Observation Mission to
Pakistan Michael Gahler confirmed that the overall situation of the general election was satisfactory.[176]
Victory speech
During his victory speech, he laid out the policy outlines for his future government. Khan said his inspiration is to build Pakistan
as a humanitarian state based on principles of first Islamic state of Medina. He described that his future government will put poor
and commoners of the country at first and all policies will be geared towards elevating the standards of living of the lesser
fortunate. He promised an investigation into rigging allegations. He said that he wanted united Pakistan and would refrain from
victimizing his political opponents. Everyone will be equal under law. He promised a simple and less costly government devoid
of showy pompousness in which prime minister house will be converted into an educational institute and governor houses will be
used for public benefit.[177]
On foreign policy, he aimed to learn from China and hoped to have better relations with Afghanistan, United States, and India. On
Middle East, he said his government will strive to have a balanced relationship with Saudi Arabia and Iran.[177]
Nominations and appointments

On 6 August 2018, PTI officially nominated him as the candidate for prime minister.[178] Delivering a speech during his
nomination, he said that he will present himself for public accountability for an hour every week in which he will answer
questions put forward by masses.[179]
After the election, Khan made some appointments and nominations for national and provincial level public office holders as the
head of winning party. Asad Umar was designated finance minister in future government of Khan in the center.[180] Khan
nominated Imran Ismail for Governor of Sindh,[181] Mahmood Khan as future Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,[182]
Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar as Governor of Punjab, Asad Qaiser as Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan,[183] and
Shah Farman as Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[184] In Balochistan, his party decided to support Balochistan Awami Party
which nominated Jam Kamal Khan for chief minister and former chief minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo for speaker.[185] His party
nominated Pakistan Muslim League (Q) leader and former Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan, Pervaiz Elahi for the slot of
Speaker of the Punjab Assembly.[186] Abdul Razak Dawood was nominated to be the advisor to prime minister on economic
affairs.[187] Qasim Khan Suri was nominated for deputy speaker of national assembly slot.[188] Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani and
Mehmood Jan were nominated as speaker and deputy speaker of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly respectively.[189] Dost
Muhammad Mazari was nominated as Deputy Speaker for the Provincial Assembly of Punjab. Khan nominated Sardar Usman
Buzdar for Chief Minister of Punjab. Announcing the nomination, Khan said that he chose Buzdar because he belongs to the most
backward area of Punjab.[190] According to some sources, Buzdar was nominated as a makeshift arrangement because it will be
easier to remove a lesser known individual when Shah Mehmood Qureshi is ready to become chief minister.[191]

On 17 August 2018, Khan secured 176 votes and became 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan while his contender and leader of
opposition Shehbaz Sharif received 96 votes.[192] He took oath of office on 18 August 2018.[193] Khan ordered top level
reshuffling in the country's bureaucracy, including the appointment of Sikandar Sultan Raja as Railways Secretary, Rizwan
Ahmed as Maritime Secretary and Sohail Mahmood as Foreign Secretary.[194][195] His first major appointment in the Pakistan
Army was that of Lieutenant General Asim Munir to the key slot of Director-General of Inter-Services Intelligence.[196]
Khan announced his cabinet soon after taking oath, choosing to keep the Ministry of Interior to himself.[197] Most of his
appointees were previously ministers during Musharraf era and some served in Pakistan Peoples Party government which
followed Musharraf era.[198][199]
Khan has stated that despite the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal
Khashoggi, Pakistan must prioritize good relations with Saudi Arabia due to an
economic crisis. He also added that U.S. sanctions against Iran are affecting
neighboring Pakistan, stating "The last thing the Muslim World needs is another
conflict. The Trump administration is moving towards that direction."[200] Khan
has prioritized close ties with China,[201] saying he "did not know" much about
concentration camps for China's Muslims.[202]

agriculture land of 39 kanals at Talhar, Islamabad, and 530 kanals at
Khanewal.[204] Further, he also has a share in 363 kanals of agricultural land
which he inherited.[204]
Other assets include furniture of ₨0.6 million (US$4,200) and livestock of

₨0.2 million (US$1,400). However he has no vehicle registered in his
name.[205] Khan with Ali Khamenei and Hassan

Khan owns a 300 kanal mansion in Bani Gala, Islamabad worth ₨750 million (US$5.3 million). Khan bought acres of land in
Bani Gala on top of a hill and built a mansion on it.[206] The mansion is located within a gated enclosure and is accessible
through a private driveway.[206] It is the permanent residence of Imran Khan.
Tax
In July 2017, Federal Board of Revenue Pakistan revealed the tax directory of Pakistani MP's. According to FBR, Khan paid
₨76,200 (US$540) of tax in 2015 and ₨1.59 lakh (US$1,100) in 2016.[207]
Public image
After the May 2013 elections, Mohammed Hanif writing for The Guardian termed Khan's support as appealing "to the educated
middle classes but Pakistan's main problem is that there aren't enough educated urban middle-class citizens in the country".[208]
Pankaj Mishra writing for The New York Times in 2012, charactised Khan as a "cogent picture out of his—and Pakistan's—
clashing identities" adding that "his identification with the suffering masses and his attacks on his affluent, English-speaking
peers have long been mocked in the living rooms of Lahore and Karachi as the hypocritical ravings of "Im the Dim" and "Taliban
Khan"—the two favored monikers for him." Mishra concluded with "like all populist politicians, Khan appears to offer something
to everyone. Yet the great differences between his constituencies—socially liberal, upper-middle-class Pakistanis and the deeply
conservative residents of Pakistan's tribal areas—seem irreconcilable."[209]
On 18 March 2012, Salman Rushdie criticised Khan for refusing to attend the
India Today Conference because of Rushdie's attendance. Khan cited the
"immeasurable hurt" that Rushdie's writings have caused Muslims around the
world. Rushdie, in turn, suggested that Khan was a "dictator in waiting."[210] In
2011, While writing for The Washington Post, Richard Leiby termed Khan as an
underdog adding that he "often sounds like a pro-democracy liberal but is well-
known for his coziness with conservative Islamist parties."[211] Ayesha Siddiqa,
in September 2014, writing for The Express Tribune, claimed that "while we can Khan addressing an Interfaith
Christmas Dinner in 2014
all sympathise with Khan's right to change the political tone, it would be
worthwhile for him to envision how he would, if he did become the prime
minister of this country, put the genie back into the bottle."[212] H. M. Naqvi termed Khan as a "sort of a Ron Paul figure", adding
that "there is no taint of corruption and there is his anti-establishment message."[211]
During the 1970s and 1980s, Khan was a popular sex symbol.[213][214] He became known as a socialite in English high
society,[214] and sported a playboy image amongst the British press and paparazzi due to his "non-stop partying" at London
nightclubs such as Annabel's and Tramp, though he claims to have hated English pubs and never drank alcohol.[20][37][63][215]
British heiress Sita White, daughter of Gordon White, Baron White of Hull, became the mother of his alleged lovechild daughter,
Tyrian Jade White. A judge in the US ruled him to be the father of Tyrian,[216] but Khan has denied paternity publicly.[217][218]
Later in 2007, Election Commission of Pakistan ruled in favour of Khan and dismissed the ex parte judgment of the US court, on
grounds that it was neither admissible in evidence before any court or tribunal in Pakistan nor executable against him.[219] About
his lifestyle as a bachelor, he has often said that, "I never claim to have led an angelic life."[37]
Declan Walsh in The Guardian newspaper in England in 2005 described Khan as a "miserable politician," observing that, "Khan's
ideas and affiliations since entering politics in 1996 have swerved and skidded like a rickshaw in a rainshower... He preaches
democracy one day but gives a vote to reactionary mullahs the next."[220] Khan has also been accused by some opponents and
critics of hypocrisy and opportunism, including what has been called his life's "playboy to puritan U-turn."[56] Political
commentator Najam Sethi, stated that, "A lot of the Imran Khan story is about backtracking on a lot of things he said earlier,
which is why this doesn't inspire people."[56] Author Fatima Bhutto has criticised Khan for "incredible coziness not with the
military but with dictatorship" as well as some of his political decisions.[221]
In popular culture
During his cricketing days, Khan featured in many advertisements and television commercials as a celebrity brand endorser.
These included Pepsi Pakistan, Brooke Bond,[222] Thums Up (along with Sunil Gavaskar),[223] and the Indian soap brand
Cinthol, at a time when Bollywood legend Vinod Khanna was also endorsing the same product.[224] His popularity in India was
such that it was "unmatched in an era when there were no smartphones to take selfies. He was mobbed everywhere he went."[224]
The late veteran Bollywood actor Dev Anand even offered him a role in his sports action-thriller movie Awwal Number (1990),
that of a cricket star in decline opposite an upcoming cricketer essayed by Aamir Khan, and as he refused, citing his lack of acting
skills, the role eventually went to Aditya Pancholi.[225] In 2010, a Pakistani production house produced a biographical film based
on Khan's life, titled Kaptaan: The Making of a Legend. The title, which is Urdu for 'Captain', depicts Khan's captaincy and
career with the Pakistan cricket team which led them to victory in the 1992 cricket world cup, as well as events which shaped his
life; from being ridiculed in cricket to being labelled a playboy;[226] from the death of his mother to his efforts and endeavours in
building the first cancer hospital in Pakistan; from being the first Chancellor of the University of Bradford to the building of
Namal University.[227][228]
Personal life
He had numerous relationships during his bachelor life.[2] He was then known as a hedonistic bachelor and a playboy who was
active on the London nightclub circuit.[2][229][230] He had numerous girlfriends during his bachelor life.[1] Many are unknown
and were called 'mysterious blondes' by British newspaper The Times.[1] Some of his out of marriage relationships included
relationship with Zeenat Aman,[231] Emma Sergeant, Susie Murray-Philipson, Sita White, Sarah Crawley,[1] Stephanie Beacham,
Goldie Hawn, Kristiane Backer, Susannah Constantine, Marie Helvin, Caroline Kellett,[232] Liza Campbell,[37] Anastasia Cooke,
Hannah Mary Rothschild,[233] Jerry Hall, and Lulu Blacker.[234][235]
His first girlfriend, Emma Sergeant, an artist and the daughter of British investor Sir Patrick Sergeant, introduced him to
socialites.[1] They first met in 1982 and subsequently visited Pakistan.[233] She accompanied him on various Pakistani cricket
team tours including in Peshawar and Australian tour.[233] After long separations, his relationship with Sergeant was broken in
1986.[1] He then had a short relationship with Susie Murray-Philipson whom he invited to Pakistan and had dinner with in
1982.[1] She also made various artistic portraits of Khan during their relationship.[236][237]
In a book published in 2009, Christopher Sandford claimed that former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and Imran Khan
had a close relationship when both were students in Oxford.[238] He wrote that Bhutto at the age of 21 first became close to Khan
in 1975. They remained in a relationship for about two months.[238] His mother also tried to have an arranged marriage between
them.[238] He further claimed that they had a "romantic relationship", which was refuted by Khan who said they were only
friends.[238]
His most well known relationship was with heiress Sita White, daughter of British industrialist Gordon White, Baron White of
Hull.[2][3] They remained in the relationship for about six years having met in 1987–88.[239] According to Sita White, Khan
agreed for a child in a 1991 meeting. Tyrian Jade was born on 15 June 1992 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center but Khan, according
to White's allegation, refused to accept her because she was a girl.[239] Khan had urged White to go for an abortion [239] Tyrian
looked extraordinarily like Khan.[3][240] Later in 1997, Los Angeles court announced the verdict which was put by his former
partner Sita White and her lawyer Gloria Allred that Imran Khan is the father of a five-year-old girl named Tyrian-Jade
White.[241] His former wife Reham Khan alleged Khan told her that Tyrian was not the only child fathered by him out of
wedlock, there were four others, some of them had Indian mothers and the oldest of his children is 34 years old.[242][243][244] In a
later interview, Reham conceded that she did not know where these children were, who they were and whether Khan was only
boasting about it, and said that she "didn't even know if it is true also because you can never make out whether he tells the
truth."[245] In 2004, after Sita's death, Khan agreed to accept Tyrian as his child and welcomed her to join their house.[246]
On 16 May 1995, at the age of 43, Khan married 21-year-old Jemima Goldsmith,[229] in a two-minute ceremony conducted in
Urdu in Paris. A month later, on 21 June, they were married again in a civil ceremony at the Richmond registry office in England.
Jemima converted to Islam. The couple have two sons, Sulaiman Isa and Kasim.[247]
Rumours circulated that the couple's marriage was in crisis. Goldsmith denied the rumours by publishing an advertisement in
Pakistani newspapers.[248] On 22 June 2004, it was announced that the couple had divorced, ending the nine-year marriage
because it was "difficult for Jemima to adapt to life in Pakistan".[249]
In January 2015, it was announced that Khan married British-Pakistani journalist Reham Khan in a private Nikah ceremony at his
residence in Islamabad.[250][251] However, Reham Khan later states in her autobiography that they in fact got married in October
2014 but the announcement only came in January the year after. On 22 October, they announced their intention to file for
divorce.[252]
In mid-2016, late 2017 and early 2018, reports emerged that Khan had married his spiritual mentor (murshid), Bushra Bibi.
Khan,[253][254] PTI aides[255][256] and members of the Manika family[257][258] denied the rumour. Khan termed the media
"unethical" for spreading the rumour,[259] and PTI filed a complaint against the news channels that had aired it.[260] On 7 January
2018, however, the PTI central secretariat issued a statement that said Khan had proposed to Manika, but she had not yet accepted
his proposal.[261] On 18 February 2018, PTI confirmed Khan has married Manika.[262][263] According to Khan, his life has been
influenced by Sufism for three decades, and this is what drew him closer to his wife.[264]
Khan resides in his sprawling farmhouse at Bani Gala.[265] In November 2009, Khan underwent emergency surgery at Lahore's
Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital to remove an obstruction in his small intestine.[266]
He owns five pet dogs, who reside on his estate.[267]
Controversies
On 1 August 2017, Ayesha Gulalai came forward with allegations of harassment against Khan and claimed that she had been
receiving offensive messages from him since October 2013.[268] In an interview, Khan said that he suspected that the Pakistan
Muslim League (Nawaz) had used Gulalai for the allegations of harassment against him.[269] Later, Ayesha Gulalai said that she
will forgive Khan if he apologises.[270]
On 19 February 2019, Imran Khan gave a speech regarding the 2019 Pulwama attack in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir;
he was criticised by the Indian media on not offering condolences to the Indian soldiers but was praised worldwide for his efforts
in bringing the conflict to an end by releasing the captured Indian air pilot to India as a gesture of peace .[271]
Awards and honours
Literary work
Khan has published six works of non-fiction, including an autobiography co-written with Patrick Murphy. He periodically writes
editorials on cricket and Pakistani politics in several leading Pakistani and British newspapers. It was revealed in 2008 that
Khan's second book, Indus Journey: A Personal View of Pakistan, had required heavy editing from the publisher. The publisher
Jeremy Lewis revealed in a memoir that when he asked Khan to show his writing for publication, "He handed me a leatherbound
notebook or diary containing a few jottings and autobiographical snippets. It took me, at most, five minutes to read them; and
that, it soon became apparent, was all we had to go on."[272]

Notes
1. Ignoring the seven caretaker prime ministers and incumbent prime minister of Pakistan. However Benazir
Bhutto's two non-consecutive terms (1988–1990 and 1993–1996) and Nawaz Sharif's three non-consecutive
terms (1990–1993, 1997–1999 and 2013–2017) are usually counted separately. As a result some sources count
Khan as the 19th Prime Minister,[10][11] but most count him as the 22nd.[12][13][14] This counting system does not
treat Sharif's two periods in office in 1993 (separated by Balakh Sher Mazari's brief stint as caretaker) as
separate terms.
