Imran Tahir wasn’t a part of the Warriors in the first three matches. It was only after Shadab Khan left the franchise that the former South African spinner came into the mix. But once he started his journey in the tournament, there was no stopping the leg-spinner.

He ended up, having the best economy rate of 5.62 among all the bowlers in the CPL along with an incredible strike-rate of 13.1. The Lahore-born finished as the second-highest wicket-taker of CPL 2019 with 16 wickets from nine matches. In his first six encounters, he got at least two wickets in every match.

The game versus the Trinbago Knight Riders was the only instance when he couldn’t dismiss a batsman. His best figures of 3/12 came against the Tallawahs at the Providence Stadium. The veteran was a tough nut to crack.
