Imran was born on 27 March 1979 in Lahore, Pakistan. He spent his childhood in Pakistan, where he developed a passion for cricket. His early talent led him to play for Pakistan's Under-19 cricket team. While detailed information about his parents, siblings, and education remains limited, it is known that he later relocated to South Africa and is now a South African citizen.
Imran began his professional cricket career in Pakistan. After limited success domestically, he sought better opportunities by moving first to England and then to South Africa. During his time in England, he notably captained a team to victory in the Friends Provident Trophy in 2009. However, he was released from the team in 2010.
Imran secured a place in the South African national cricket team, making his international debut in 2011. He was selected for the 2011 Cricket World Cup, with his first match played against the West Indies in Delhi. He made an impactful debut by bowling 10 overs, claiming 4 wickets, and conceding only 41 runs.
One of Imran’s most challenging performances occurred during a Test match against Australia, where he bowled 37 overs and conceded 260 runs—an outing often cited among the costliest in Test history. However, he redeemed himself in 2013 with a five-wicket performance in a winning match against Pakistan. That same year, in the T20 World Cup, he excelled again, earning the Man of the Match award for his performance against the Netherlands and ending the series with the highest wicket tally.
In 2014, Imran was purchased in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction and went on to play for the Delhi Daredevils. His consistent performance earned him the title of T20 Cricketer of the Year. In 2015, Imran played a pivotal role in leading South Africa during the World Cup. Although South Africa did not win the tournament, he was recognized for his performance and awarded Man of the Match honors during key matches. He holds several bowling records, including five-wicket hauls in Tests against both Pakistan and India, and two five-wicket hauls in ODIs against the West Indies.
Unable to secure a permanent position in Pakistan's senior team, Imran moved to England in search of better opportunities, ultimately settling in South Africa. There, he met and married Sumayya Dildar, an Indian-origin South African resident. While details about his annual salary and net worth are undisclosed, his accomplishments suggest he is a high-net-worth individual who has remained successful both on and off the field.
