Imran Tahir’s brilliant direct hit caught Kyle Jamieson short of his crease on Sunday as CSK cruised to a 69-run win over RCB. The 42-year-old’s stunning fielding effort left many surprised, with Imran Tahir not regarded as a great fielder due to his age.
The CSK duo got together for a chat after the game, and Ravindra Jadeja asked Imran Tahir to explain the secret behind his stupendous fielding effort.
Imran Tahir attracted high praise from Ravindra Jadeja, who is widely regarded as one of the best fielders in international cricket. The CSK all-rounder applauded Tahir’s passion for the game and praised his fitness as well.

Ravindra Jadeja was a one-man show against RCB, and deservedly got the Man of the Match accolade for his efforts. He carted Harshal Patel for a 37-run over, which changed the context of the game and handed the momentum back to CSK.

Imran Tahir asked Ravindra Jadeja to shed some light on his record-breaking performance, and the all-rounder conceded he was surprised with how well he struck the ball against RCB’s premier death bowler.
Ravindra Jadeja impressed with the ball too after his mesmerising 28-ball 62*. The left-arm spinner used the conditions to great effect, scalping the wickets of AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell as he ended with figures of 4-1-13-3.
On a day when there was some purchase for the spinners, Imran Tahir asked Ravindra Jadeja to dissect his bowling performance.
