Imran Tahir trundles in, he delivers a spitting leg-spin, it bamboozles the batsman, he gets the wicket and then he takes off. Arms aloft, exulting, running all over the ground, thumping the crest and roaring in absolute delight. It is an absolute event, the Imran Tahir celebration after picking a wicket is a joy in itself as he is chased around by his teammates.
Well, not for MS Dhoni. The skipper has made it absolutely clear that he, along with Shane Watson, will never go after Tahir and wait for him to come back before congratulating him on the wicket.
“It’s great fun to watch him (Tahir) celebrate. We have made it very clear to him that me and Watson are never coming to him because more often that not, when he gets a wicket, he runs to the other side,” Dhoni said at the post-match presentation.
