Travel also brought out other dimensions in cricketers. Anil Kumble became an avid photographer. England’s Jack Russell, a top notch painter, would sketch stadiums. Imran Khan ran up a long list of conquests off the field wherever he went, and brought the kind of sex appeal to cricket that had not been seen before, or has been since.

Inspired by a meeting with Mother Teresa in the mid-90s, he also took on humanitarian work, teaming up with the Udayan foundation in Kolkata.
