Imran Tahir featured only in one of CSK’s seven games during Phase 1, but his recent form will make it difficult to keep the veteran leggie out of the playing XI. Tahir was at the centre stage yet again, as he clinched an impressive three-wicket haul, to help Guyana Amazon Warriors bowl out the Barbados Royals for just 130 in the ongoing CPL 2021.

The Warriors eventually clinched a nine-wicket win and boosted their net run-rate significantly, with Tahir being one of the key perpetrators for the Nicholas Pooran led side to be in contention for the playoffs.
