Sportskeeda’s ODI Team of the Year

Imran Tahir

Tahir is the second leg-spinner in Sportskeeda’s ODI Team of the Year

It’s not very often one can see two leg-spinners in a playing XI. Sportskeeda’s ODI XI of the Year is one such team that has two leggies. Alongside Adil Rashid, South Africa’s leg-spinner Imran Tahir will take care of the spin department.

Tahir is someone who possesses a significant threat to the batsmen on a consistent basis. In 2016, he continued what he does the best, troubling the batsmen and has scalped 27 wickets in 14 innings at an average of 25. His economy of 5.2 is excellent for a spinner in the modern day game. His variations are tough to pick and that is the reason why he holds the upper hand against the batsmen in a matter of few balls.
