Happy Birthday Imran Khan became top trend on social site Twitter as the Prime Minister of turns 67 years old today (Saturday).

Many users took to the internet to post messages of good health, happiness and a long life to the incumbent premier.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman was born in Lahore in 1952. He received early education at Aitchison College in Lahore, then the Royal Grammar School Worcester in Worcester, and later at Keble College, Oxford.

At age 13, he started playing cricket and made his debut for the Pakistan at the age 18. After graduating from Oxford, he made his home debut for Pakistan in 1976, and played until 1992.

He also served as the team's captain intermittently between 1982 and 1992, and led Pakistan to victory at the 1992 Cricket World Cup, Pakistan's first and only victory in the competition.

In total he scored 3,807 runs and took 362 wickets in Test cricket, and is one of eight world cricketers to have achieved an 'All-rounder's Triple' in Test matches. In 2010, he was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

In April 1996, Khan founded the PTI, and became the party's national leader. Khan contested for a seat in the National Assembly in October 2002 and served as an opposition member from Mianwali until 2007.

He was again elected to the parliament in the 2013 elections, when his party emerged as the second largest in the country by popular vote. Khan served as the parliamentary leader of the party and led the third-largest block of parliamentarians in the National Assembly from 2013 to 2018.

His party also led a coalition government in the north-western province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In the 2018 general elections, his party won the largest number of seats and defeated the ruling PML-N, bringing Khan to premiership and the PTI into federal government for the first time.

To commemorate his birthday, celebrities, cricketers, PTI supporters and his fans took to Twitter to wish him.
