Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to bat first against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Explaining his choice, Dhoni said that heat will be a huge factor and hence wicket will tend to slow down. However, six out of nine previous teams have won chasing at the Wankhede.
The South African spinner says his Chennai Super Kings captain is best in the world as he has in-depth knowledge of the game.
Tahir's pullout is yet another instance of an international player withdrawing from the BBL this season as it comes in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic.
Tahir brings more than 300 T20 matches of experience to the Renegades and will be available for matches after Christmas, the club stated on its website.
Imran Tahir took time after the side's game against RR to mentor the young Riyan Parag.
Stephen Fleming says CSK spin bowling has been ineffective and that’s why they brought in overseas spinner Imran Tahir for the game but CSK batting came a cropper in 10-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians.
Contrary to expectations, CSK are languishing at the bottom place of the points table with just three wins in 10 games so far.
Danish Kaneria claims that leg-spinners will dominate the upcoming season of Indian Premier League, which is scheduled to start from September 19 in UAE.
Tahir moved to South Africa and ended up playing for its national team while also representing various franchises in T20 league the world over.
Talking to Chennai Super Kings in a live YouTube chat, Imran was shown a photo of Dhoni playing with Gibran. It was following a league-stage match against Kings XI Punjab.
Tahir also said every time he turned up for Chennai Super Kings it gave him goosebumps and the family atmosphere in the IPL team is something which he has never got anywhere else.
During the third over of England's run-chase of 178, Steyn got the wicket of Jos Buttler and in the process surpassed former leg-spinner Imran Tahir's tally of 61.
