Playboy
to Potential Prime Minister, Westernized to Ultra-Orthodox, Eternal bachelor to
husband of ex-wives, Once a dear friend of India to the one working round the
clock to make a point against it, is all that makes one and only
Imran Khan Niyazi.
The guy is finally getting himself ready into Prime Ministerial home and fulfilling his long cherished desire to lead his own country.
Imran was all about style, attitude and the one who always left his rivalry the moment he left the playing strip. Remember the camaraderie he had with his Indian peers whenever India Pakistan played against each other or came across. Cinthol (advertisement) was a big bonding with the man for many of cricket fans across India. He also showed his human side when he built Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre in memory of his mother. His umpteen attempts to have affairs with Indian actresses gave Indian media enough spice to go gaga over this cheerful handsome man from the world of cricket. All this while his fierce all-round skills and leadership qualities made world accept him as one of the all-time greats to grace the game.
Records in galore, glory with esteem and icing on the cake with 1992 Cricket World Cup made Imran one of the most dashing and respected Cricket Icons the world over.
Imran true to himslef was living his life in his own way till shocking marriage to Jemima Goldsmith, a young girl almost half of his age and people treated it as a usual Imran playboy stuff expecting it to be a short lived one.
No one had expected his plunge into politics and then began his struggles to make his political career work and not let his marriage fail.As expected, he was not good at both of them. A liberal visionary started to get more orthodox and hardline approach started pipping in. Neither the marriages worked nor the political career took off.
Imran Khan is true story what an ambition can lead a person to! A person who was least bothered about his lifestyle making it a point all the while to woo people and showcase himself as one amongst them. A person who loved to be in good books of India ready to talk relentlessly against it for his own political gains. A person who was forward looking is more than willing to take his own country back.
In short, politics wherever it happens makes a person compromise his own principles, let’s go the path he/she had chosen to, grab and sustain the power through whatsoever means it comes through and live in a world which gives outer periphery of success irrespective of what he/she as an individual wishes to .
Whatsoever, it would have brought bigger cherish to cricket fans the world over, had Imran continued with cricket and worked for betterment of the game rather than getting entangled in game of politics and take up a job which he himself had never imagined to and for sure which would have taken away lots of his fan following.
Nonetheless, as a true cricket fan and an Indian patriot , hope to see Imran who changed the way umpiring happened in Pakistan by making a way for neutral umpires shall use the same principles in his tenure as Pakistan Prime Minister.
P.S. This blog is just looking back at a cricketer’s life and the journey which has evolved a long way. It does not intend to make any political statement or analyse it.
