Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday expressed grief over the demise of legendary leg spinner Abdul Qadir who died of a cardiac arrest last night.
The prime minister offered condolence to the aggrieved family and paid tribute to Abdul Qadir who he said was genius and one of the greatest leg spinners of all time.
Deeply saddened to hear of Abdul Qadir’s passing. My prayers & condolences go to the family. Abdul Qadir was a genius, one of the greatest leg spinners of all time. And he was also the life of the dressing room entertaining the team with his wit & humour.

The prime minister said Qadir’s bowling statistics do not do justice to his genius.
“Had he been playing cricket now with the modern DRS system, where batsmen can be given out on the front foot as well, Qadir would have gotten as many wickets as the great Shane Warne,” the former cricket hero said.
