Despite his advancing age, South African spinner Imran Tahir's wicket-taking prowess has not diminished. The 47-year-old leg-spinner bowled such a brilliant spell in the Caribbean Premier League that he became the oldest player to take five wickets in men's T20 cricket.
Playing for Guyana Amazon Warriors, Imran Tahir destroyed the St. Lucia Kings batting order. He gave away just 17 runs in his spell and dismissed 5 players.
As a result of Imran Tahir's extraordinary performance, the entire St. Lucia Kings team failed to post a big score and were all out for 119 runs.
This five-wicket spell is another significant achievement in Imran Tahir's T20 career, but this time the highlight was his age. At the age of 47, he took five wickets to set a new age record in T20 cricket.
Imran Tahir's performance also showed that despite being on the field for a long time, his passion for taking wickets remains intact.
