'My son has been pushing me' - 47-year-old Tahir after becoming oldest to bag five-for

September 11, 2026 · ESPN Cricinfo

At 47 years of age, Imran Tahir has made history by becoming the oldest bowler to claim a five-wicket haul. Facing the St Lucia Kings, the veteran leg-spinner delivered a career-defining performance by securing five wickets while conceding just 17 runs across his four overs. Following the historic milestone, which marked his personal best bowling return in the T20 format, Tahir credited his son with providing the motivation that continues to drive him forward.
