Imran Tahir's stunning googly bamboozles Nyeem Young

The CSK spinner is immensely enthusiastic about the game even at this age. His passion is evident from his signature trademark celebration after taking a wicket. After bagging a wicket, Imran Tahir sprints towards the boundary to start his celebration and then brings out a ‘lion roar’.

Imran Tahir was at it once again during Match 26 of the CPL 2020 between Barbados Tridents and Guyana Amazon Warriors. It all happened during the fourth ball of the 18th over when Imran Tahir bowled a googly and dismissed the top-scorer of the Barbados Tridents, Nyeem Young for 18. As soon as the CSK star took the wicket, he started his celebratory run only to stop it in the middle. Tahir, who is usually lively after bagging a wicket, was rather quiet in his celebration as he once again knelt down to support the global Black Lives Matter movement.
