5 Fit cricketers above 35 and still going strong in international cricket

#4 Imran Tahir

Imran Tahir's iconic celebratory sprints are a treat to watch

Age: 39 years 10 months

Perhaps one of the most zestful and exuberant cricketers the world has seen is the Pakistan-born South African leg-spinner, Imran Tahir. His energy on the field while bowling, fielding and especially while celebrating a fall of the wicket is unbelievable.

For Tahir, perseverance and passion are the two most important factors that have led to his success.

Tahir made his international debut at the age of 31 and thus wanted to live every ball. The celebratory sprints of Tahir are as amazing as his bowling and show how much it means to him.

The fit-at-heart Tahir reached the pinnacle of his cricket career when he topped the ICC ODI and T20I rankings in 2017.

At the age of 39, he still remains the frontline spinner for South Africa and many other teams which he represents in the T20 leagues across the globe.

Before signing-off from international cricket, Tahir would love to win an ICC trophy for South Africa.
