00:00Imran Khan was not just a captain or a leader, but a raw, hungry fast bowler obsessed with speed.
00:07Back in 1972, while still in England, a young Imran watched Dennis Lilley steam in for Australia
00:14and unleash pure pace. That moment changed everything. Pakistan hadn't produced a genuine
00:21tearaway fast bowler before, and Imran decided he would become one. Fast forward to 1978,
00:28at the famous speed test in Perth, Imran clocked in third behind Jeff Thompson and Michael Holding.
00:35Years later, he recalled with a smile,
00:37We were bowling bouncers while Jeff was sending down full tosses, so there was a bit of distortion.
00:44Still, out of eight balls, seven of mine were quicker than Holding's, and I wasn't even at my
00:50peak. I was faster over the next two years. That was Imran Khan in his element, driven, defiant,
00:57and destined to redefine Pakistan's fast bowling legacy.
