Imran Tahir’s reaction gave a clear sign that this victory will always remain special for him in his career, and he also thanked Ravi Ashwin. Tahir added, “Many thanks to Ravi Ashwin. Before the start of the season, he told me that I could do it and win the CPL.

Imran Tahir conceded only eight runs in his four overs and picked up two wickets.
