Imran Tahir has always been known for his wild celebrations after bagging a wicket. There’s no doubt to the fact that every captain he has played under respect his celebration, starting from Faf du Plessis, the South African skipper, to Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni in IPL. Recently, Dhoni has revealed his funny taken on Tahir’s wicket celebrating style.
The CSK skipper himself is known widely due to his calm composure at the field. Whereas Tahir, Chennai’s star legspinner, never shy away from showing his emotions and over-excitement. He has even earned the nickname “Parasakthi Express” due to his celebrating style. Whenever Tahir bags a scalp, he races from one end of the ground to another with his arms spread wide open like there’s no end to it.

On Wednesday, as CSK defeated the Delhi Capitals in an IPL match by a huge margin of 80 runs, Tahir celebrated his four-wicket haul in his signature style, at Chepauk. Speaking about the leggie during the post-match presentation, Dhoni said that he’s not fit enough to keep up with the leggie’s powerful and super energetic celebration.
To quote Dhoni, who chuckled his way throughout this statement, “It’s great fun to watch Tahir celebrate. But we have made it very clear that me and Watson we are never coming to him once he gets a wicket because more often he runs to the other side.”

MS further said that instead of running after Tahir to celebrate with him, they wait for Tahir to complete his round and come back where he started. He said, “For me and Watson, it’s a bit difficult when you are not 100% fit. Why go over there and congratulate. The good thing is he finishes his lap and comes back to the same place. So that’s the time we say, ‘yeah, very well done..well bowled’ and we go back to our fielding positions.”
