Imran Tahir is a Pakistani born leg spinner who plays for the South African side. The leggy is a must pick in the limited overs cricket for South Africa. He is a very handy bowler and has been rated as one of the best in the business.
Imran here is seen bowling an absolute ripper to the Sri Lankan batsman. This was a beauty from the leg spinner. The ball was pitched slightly outside the leg stump and there was a massive turn on this one. The batsman thought the ball will not turn this much and he left it to make it easy for it to hit his stumps.
Imran Tahir bowled this one with a great catch but at the same time it seems that the batsman here did not get any idea about his stumps. He knew that he was playing a leg spinner hence there was every chance of the ball coming back in. this is exactly what happened.
The ball was not bowled as a googly because if the ball had been turning away then the line would have been straight towards the stumps and not this much outside the off stump. This is one thing which the batsman did not calculate and as a result he saw his stumps being shattered. Imran Tahir was absolutely jubilant after taking this video. He loves taking wickets and we all know that.
Imran Tahir is undoubtedly one of the best bowlers in terms of spin at this very moment in cricket. The Pakistani born leggy is a permanent member of the South Africa squad in the limited overs cricket. He has played the test matches for South Africa as well.
Here we see him bowling a beauty to a Sri Lankan batter in the third ODI of the series. Imran bowled this one outside the off stump and then made he spin in. the left handed batsman thought that the ball would not spin or either spin away.
The batsman made a wrong calculation here. He played for two prepositions as it seems. The first one was that it was a wrong one but then again if this would have been a wrong one then Imran would have bowled this much closer to the stumps.
Second if it was a leg spinner which in fact it was then there was no point in lunging this much forward and leaving the ball. The batsman could have easily defended this one from the middle of his bat. But he preferred to leave the ball alone. This could only be explained only by him as he can tell what was in his mind as he went for leaving the ball. This was wrong from him.
