He, alongside JP Duminy, announced their retirements from international cricket, although Tahir retired from ODIs only. The Pakistan-born player had the ambition of playing for the Proteas in the <a href=\"https:\/\/uccricket.live\/cricket\/t20-world-cup\/\">T20 World Cup<\/a> 2021 but the selectors had moved on by then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the 45-year-old continues to play franchise cricket across the globe. He is currently playing for Joburg Super Kings (JSK), an <a href=\"https:\/\/uccricket.live\/cricket\/sa20-2025-schedule-squad-captains-venue-players-9685\/\">SA20<\/a> side and the subsidiary franchise of <a href=\"https:\/\/uccricket.live\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2025-csk-team-players-list-with-prices-16335\/\">Chennai Super Kings<\/a>. During JSK\u2019s match with the Durban SuperGiants, Tahir took a diving catch to remove Wiaan Mulder from the crease. The latter played a reverse sweep but was caught at backward point by Tahir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident happened during DSG\u2019s innings in the seventh over. This over was bowled by part-timer Donovan Ferreira. Bowling from round the wicket, Ferreira aimed at the middle and leg stump line of Mulder. Talking about the game, the Yellow Brigade, JSK batted first and got 169\/7 on the board. In reply, the 2023 finalists managed to get only 141 all-out, losing the game by 28 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Watch the video here<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">45 Year Old Imran Tahir takes a superb catch. \ud83e\udd2f<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OdyIDp6D8S\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/OdyIDp6D8S<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mufaddal_vohra\/status\/1879376392074465762?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Imran Tahir is part of the Super Kings franchises since 2018<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The former Pakistan U19 player has been part of the Super Kings franchise since 2018.
