[The Bald Eagle]

Forty one years ago today, Imran Khan took 5 wickets for 3 runs in the space of 25 deliveries during which he was, for all purposes, unplayable.
This event occurred in Karachi during the 2nd test of India tour to Pakistan. Imran Khan also emerged as man of the match for this test owing to his brilliant bowling figures of 3/19 in the first innings and 8/60 in the second innings against India.

Imran was undoubtedly the best All rounder of the 1980s. Such a fiery performance against your arch rivals is a worthy feat.
