Imran Tahir breaks world record at 47 as oldest bowler to take T20 five-wicket haul

Veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir has created cricket history by becoming the oldest bowler ever to take a five-wicket haul in Twenty20 cricket at the age of 47.

Tahir, who previously won the IPL Purple Cap at the age of 40, continues to defy age with his trademark enthusiasm, sharp googlies, and energetic celebrations across global franchise leagues.

Ageless Match-Winner

The 47-year-old leg-spinner dismantled the opposition batting lineup to achieve the rare five-wicket milestone, breaking the previous world record for the oldest player to record a T20 five-for. His latest masterclass underlines his status as one of the most durable and effective white-ball spinners in the history of short-format cricket.
