ICC World Cup 2019: One impact player for each team 

South Africa - Imran Tahir

Run Run, Imran!

Recently, South Africa was taken aback by the sudden retirement of their star batsman, AB de Villiers. Despite AB's retirement, the Protean fans have something to cheer about. The South African side is currently on a tour down under, the South African bowling line-up is heavily equipped with bowlers. Their bowling line-up consists of bowlers like Kagiso Rabada, Dale Steyn, Lungi Ngidi and Imran Tahir.

On the back of their fantastic bowling, South Africa can reach a long way in the tournament next year. Protean leg-spinner Imran Tahir can prove to be a match winner for the rainbow nation. Tahir has scalped 151 wickets in 89 ODIs. In England, the 39-year-old has played 4 matches in which he has only picked up 5 wickets. He would look to better his statistics when he takes the field in England next year.

Tahir will have the job of restricting the opposition in the middle overs of the innings. He will be South Africa's main man in England. The Proteas will face hosts England on May 30 to begin their World Cup campaign.
