Imran Khan bowled to Richard Illingworth, the ball took the thick edge of the willow and went straight into the air and caught by Rameez Raza. This is how Pakistan became victorious in the 1992 world cup final.
Kaptaan had led the South Asian nation to a victory coated with hope and resurrection.
Imran, who won Pakistan its only World Cup in 1992, says had started his struggle since then only. Is this a conduct of someone favourite of the hard state i.e. military?
The question becomes more prudent to be asked, given that much before results had come, the process was pronounced tampered and Imran labelled as a dummy candidate who extends unconditional support to Army Chief Bajwa.
How free will Pakistan's new PM's policies be? To answer this will require Imran himself. Imran's decisions and policies will start unfolding soon giving the correct equation with the army.
Imran vows to end corruption and dreams of 'New Pakistan'. Will there be real changes or it'll get withered away with Imran getting more acquainted with Pak's politics?
In the television address, he talked about his struggle of 22 years and how he saw Pakistan plummeting in the race of development.
It will be of supreme importance for Imran to ensure a Pakistan tolerant for minorities. The allegations on Pakistani state about the persecution of Ahmadis and Shias is something which should worry Pakistan's new leadership.
The promise with which Imran Khan, the political Kaptan appears on the screen with warm words for India and an urge to march towards normalcy has several connotations.
Will the generals in Pakistan permit him to open talks and deliberations with India?
If yes, it would be against the 'mea culpa' of animosity both Nations have seen for long. Imran stressing upon the need to bolster trade with India is suggestive of his urge to bring on track the succumbing economy of Pakistan.
From India's perspective, punishing the perpetrators of Mumbai attack will be top on India's demand list.
It is believed that the new PM will undertake a few political stunts by getting a few behind the bars or have investigations on against them to tackle corruption.
This may bring him accolades on a temporary basis but would require a solid plan of action on his part to even think of uprooting corruption in Pakistan.
Khan, who has served as UNICEF's Special Representative for Sports and gave services in promoting health and immunisation programmes in South Asia seems no naïve to works of societal betterment.
Shouldering the aspirations of millions Imran requires to respect the mandate and take Pakistan out of the current crisis.
