When cricket legends battled in court: Imran Khan’s triumph over Ian Botham, Allan Lamb
Imran Khan, the former Pakistan cricket captain, successfully won a libel case in London against England cricketers Ian Botham and Allan Lamb in 1996. They accused him of calling them “uneducated racists” and ball-tampering. The court ruled in Imran’s favour, and Botham and Lamb had to cover court costs of £500,000.
