WATCH: 41-year-old Imran Tahir takes a sensational running catch in T10 League

Imran Tahir takes a brilliant catch in T10 league 2021

In the sixth game of the ongoing T10 League 2021 between Deccan Gladiators and Team Abu Dhabi, veteran South African cricketer Imrah Tahir showed superb fitness while grabbing a spectacular running catch to dismiss Afghanistan batsman Najibullah Zadran.

It all happened during the sixth over of Abu Dhabi’s innings. Pacer Zahoor Khan, who had already picked up the prized wicket of Joe Clarke in the over, bowled a short delivery outside the off-stump to Zadran.

The batsman played a pull shot in an attempt to send the white leather into the stands. However, it was a slower delivery which ended up carrying a top edge and went near the long leg position. Tahir, who was stationed at fine-leg, sprinted across, kept his eyes on the ball and completed a phenomenal catch.

After the game, Tahir spoke about the catch and said he is fit enough to give such sprints and has the confidence to carry out such efforts on the field.

“I still think that I am obviously good enough, running around in the field, and I think it’s just the confidence as a cricketer you have to carry in any profession, to be honest with you. So, yeah I’m very pleased, I’ve been working hard, and I’m just happy the hard work paid off,” said Tahir.
