Imran Tahir Unleashes Signature Sprint After Dismissing Rovman Powell from CPL 2024

Imran Tahir’s iconic celebratory sprint was on full display during the 2024 Caribbean Premier League (CPL), as the veteran spinner dashed towards the boundary after claiming the key wicket of Barbados Royals captain Rovman Powell. The Guyana Amazon Warriors skipper, known for his exuberant celebrations, took off immediately after his second wicket of the match, delighting fans at Guyana’s Providence Stadium.

With figures of 2-22 from three overs, Imran Tahir played a pivotal role in securing a commanding 47-run victory for his side, solidifying their position as a top contender in the CPL 2024 standings.

Tahir’s Electrifying Celebration After Powell’s Dismissal

Chasing a daunting target of 220, the Barbados Royals were already reeling at 79-5 in the 10th over when Powell attempted to steer Tahir to the leg side. However, the attempt backfired, and Powell ended up yorking himself, sealing his fate and further deepening the Royals’ woes. Tahir, ever the entertainer, didn’t miss a beat—sprinting towards the boundary, arms outstretched, as the home crowd erupted in cheers.

Tahir’s energetic celebration has become one of the most recognizable moments in world cricket, and this instance was no different, with fans loving every second of his animated run in front of the roaring Guyana supporters.

Guyana Amazon Warriors Dominate with Bat and Ball

Tahir’s brilliance wasn’t limited to Powell’s wicket. Earlier in the innings, he dismissed Rivaldo Clarke, finishing with impressive figures that stifled the Royals’ chase. His efforts were well-complemented by teammates Gudakesh Motie (3-42) and Moeen Ali (2-16), as the Royals could only muster 172-9, falling well short of their target.

Earlier in the day, Guyana’s batting stars Shai Hope (71 off 37) and Shimron Hetmyer (57 off 34) powered the Warriors to a formidable 219-8, setting the stage for their bowlers to take control. With this victory, Guyana Amazon Warriors notched up their third consecutive win of the season, securing their spot as the second-best team in the tournament, just behind the St. Lucia Kings.

As the CPL 2024 heats up, Imran Tahir and his Warriors have established themselves as serious contenders, and the sight of Tahir’s celebratory sprint is sure to remain a highlight in the competition.
