Hello everyone. For me, when it comes to cricket the sport I love the most the Greatest of All Time has to be Shane Warne. He was not just a bowler; he was the true King of Spin. With more than 1,000 international wickets, Warne remains unmatched in the art of leg-spin. His famous “Ball of the Century” is still remembered as one of the greatest moments in cricket. He won countless matches for Australia, including a key role in their 1999 World Cup victory where he was Player of the Match in the semifinal. Warne’s clever mind, magical spin, and fearless attitude made him a legend forever. No spinner has ever come close to his brilliance, and that is why he is my cricketing GOAT.
In the world of football, the Greatest of All Time for me is Pelé, the legendary Brazilian footballer who is still remembered as the King of Football. He played more than 1,300 matches in his career and scored over 1,200 goals, leading his teams to countless victories. Pelé was the only player to win the World Cup three times, which made him a true icon of the game. His skill, vision, and ability to score with his feet, body, and even his head made him a complete footballer. He started his journey at a very young age and inspired millions through his passion and leadership. Even today, Pelé is celebrated as one of the greatest players the world has ever seen, a legend who gave football its crown.
The third sport in which I want to mention my GOAT is Squash, and without any doubt, it is Jahangir Khan from my own country, Pakistan. He is called the uncrowned king of squash because the world has never seen a player like him. Jahangir Khan won the World Championship six times and the British Open ten times, making history for Pakistan. He remained unbeatable for years with his extraordinary skills, speed, and brilliant game plan. His dominance not only brought pride to our nation but also showed the world the true beauty of squash. Even today, no player has been able to match his level, and that is why Jahangir Khan is remembered as the greatest squash player of all time.

I like to invite @ahsansharif, @syedabatool and @norat to participate in this contest 🤗 🌼 🌸.
You know, I am a huge fan of cricket, and it's tough to choose the GOAT from it.
Well, I know Warne is one of the greatest, and the world will never see someone like him again. However, I disagree with this, as Murali is equally, if not more, talented than him. Anyway, I respect your choice.
I don't know much about Squash. Looks like this guy is a legend..
Your entry shows a bit of use of AI, anyway, if you do so... Please refrain from it!
Good Luck!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts . Yes, I agree both Warne and Murali were legends in their own unique ways, and debates like these will always continue in cricket.
As for squash, Jahangir Khan is truly our national asset and he has made us proud many times.
And just to clarify kindly, I didn’t use AI in my entry everything I wrote is completely my own effort and thoughts.
I always try to express in my own simple way. Thanks again for your feedback and good wishes 🌸.
Yeah, you are right... There is no end to these debates. And one can't exactly say who is better, as both are wonderful.
I just now looked at him out of curiosity. And he is indeed a legendary player, and I am not surprised about your choice.
tHANK YOU!
For me, the greatest players are the ones that make me smile and get excited when I watch them.
In football, I pick Cristiano Ronaldo because he never gives up, and even when people say he is old, he still scores amazing goals.
In athletics, I love Usain Bolt. He runs so fast it almost looks like he is flying. I always shout “go Bolt!” when I see his videos.
In boxing, my favorite is Muhammad Ali. He was brave, strong, and also funny. I like how he believed in himself no matter what.
These three are my GOATs because they make me believe I can be great too if I try hard.
I will love to invite @bossj23, @favourite01 and @nsijoro to participate in the contest
straight and wonderful choices. I was waiting for an entry about Bolt. Thanks for the entry and good luck.
Thank you so much sir for the reward 🌸🌼🤗
Thank for selecting me 😌
Pele is seen as the GOAT of football because he did very well in the pitch and outside the pitch. He was seen as the most outstanding player with extraordinary skills, strength and trophies. Playing as an attacker he controlled the game, won titles and created much influence in the game. Being a Brazilian the Joga Bonito is known to be the beautiful game, they play football to enjoy it while creating much beautiful scenes and impact.

Usain Bolt being the goat of sprinting. I really enjoy his journey of success as an athlete. Before he won the 3 consecutive titles people countered him alot saying he was too tall to race . He had so many setbacks but he disciplined himself to be the greatest no matter what, He failed so many times but he won 3 titles consecutively.

Michael Jordan is considered to be the greatest basketballer in history because of his game dominance and clutch performances. He's so known as considered as the best to ever lived, footwears are designed with his name too being JORDAN.
He's considered the best of his last and final competition of always winning and dominating the game.
