Rising Pune Supergiant registered their third win of the season when they beat the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 6 wickets at Pune. RPS leggie Imran Tahir was absolutely thrilled with the win that the RPS team registered against the defending champions. He showered praises on the hero of the game for the team – MS Dhoni. It was a superlative knock from MSD that helped RPS chase down 176 in a nail biting finish.

Dhoni scored an unbeaten 61 off mere 34 deliveries to set up the run chase. Imran Tahir noted that it was an absolute delight to watch Dhoni play. He rightly remarked that it is Dhoni who is the go-to man for the team in such situations. Tahir fell short of words while praising the former RPS skipper. He even had a word of praise for opener Rahul Tripathi, who scored his first fifty in IPL.

“I don’t have words. He did very well. Mahi bhai, you know, is a player for such situations. Insha Allah, it was unbelievable to watch from Tripathi first and then from Mahi bhai. We are excited that we will get to see this Mahi bhai in the coming games,” quoted Imran Tahir.

The South African leg-spinner further expressed his happiness at the fact that he is sharing the dressing room with MS Dhoni. He pointed out that the wicket-keeper batsman is a very humble and nice person.

“It is an absolute honour (to play in the same team). What a humble and nice person he is. It’s been lovely to play with him,” the leg-spinner remarked.

Elaborating on the same note, Imran Tahir admitted that he tries to communicate a lot with Dhoni. He is loving every moment that he is spending at the RPS camp. Tahir initially went unsold at the auctions this year. He was later drafted as a replacement for Mitch Marsh by the team management of the Pune franchise. Tahir went on to say that it is a dream for every player to play alongside MS Dhoni.

“I try as much (to) share things with him because he has got a lot of experience. To be honest, I am just loving it every moment. I am sure it is every cricketer’s dream to play with MS Dhoni. It’s a great opportunity. Thanks to IPL, I got into Pune and am playing with him. It’s going really well with him and I hope it carries on,” conceded Tahir.
