Former Australian Test cricketer Tom Moody has named Imran Khan among the six best all-rounders in the last 60 years. 

In an ESPNcricinfo video, Moody was asked to name six best all-rounders the cricket world saw during the last 50 years. 

"Imran Khan, Kapil Dev, Ian Botham, Gary Sobbers, Jacques Kallis, Sir Richard Hadlee," he replied. 

In the discussion, former Indian Test cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar said Khan, Botham, and Hadlee started off as pure bowlers. 

"Imran, Botham and Hadlee started off as bowlers. They used to bat at number eight or nine and were slowly promoted in the batting because of their success there. Except for Kallis, they all mostly started as bowlers. Kallis was a proper batter who used to bat at top order," he shared. 

Moody is a continuous part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a coach. He had played eight Tests and 76 ODIs from 1989 to 1999.
