CSK star Imran Tahir's intense appeal leaves fans in splits

The 41-year-old is immensely enthusiastic about the game even at this age. His passion is evident from his signature trademark  celebration after taking a wicket. After bagging a wicket, Imran Tahir sprints towards the boundary to start his celebration and then brings out a ‘lion roar’.

But his celebration is not the only thing he is hyper about. The CSK spinner is also extremely fervent about his appeals. Imran Tahir was at it once again during Match 8 of the CPL 2020 against the Jamaica Tallawahs. During the second ball of the final over of the powerplay, Imran Tahir bowled a googly which deceived the Tallawahs' skipper Rovman Powell altogether as the ball hit on his pads. 

Imran Tahir started appealing fiercely as if he was beseeching the umpire to give it out. The umpire was unmoved as he snubbed Imran Tahir's appeal. The official Twitter account of the CPL 2020 took to the microblogging site and uploaded a video of Imran Tahir's intense appeal and trolled him with a hysterical caption that left fans in splits. The CSK star finished the game with figures of 1/26 from his four overs as his team won by 14 runs.
