As a cricketing legend, Imran Khan wowed millions around the world. Now he's facing his biggest test yet as he runs for Prime Minister of Pakistan.

On tonight's Dateline at 9.30pm on SBS ONE, Karim Shah spends two weeks on the road with Khan as he travels to political rallies across the country.

His report gives a fascinating insight into Imran Khan's rising popularity and his self-proclaimed mission to eradicate corruption in politics.

But in a country with such a turbulent political past, the possibility of a terrorist attack putting an end to it all is never far away… just as it did with Benazir Bhutto in 2007.

Is he a sportsman playing at politics, as some dismiss him? Or has Pakistan's political old guard finally met its match?

See Karim's report on Tuesday at 9.30pm on SBS ONE, and read more now on the Dateline website.
