My job, if someone picks me, is to come and perform. That's what we do for a living.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I always come on the ground with a smile on the face, but inside, I'm always ready to fight and try to give as much as I can.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
It is a big challenge as a spinner to play modern day cricket, where you have to have five players in the circle.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
When someone attacks you, there is always an opportunity, and that's what I look for.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I have learnt that patience is important: patience when you bowl and also in how you handle life.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I am the kind of person who will give his best every single time. I cannot underperform unless I'm playing with kids. Actually, I'd probably still get angry if they try to hit me!
Quote by -Imran Tahir
In 2004 in England, there was one catch that was very special to me. I was bowling in a league match, and the batsman hit the ball over my head. I had to run back to between mid-off and mid-on to take the catch, and I did.

My wife is a beautician, but the first time I did something to my hair was not through her.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
The googly and the slider are my favourite type of deliveries, and I love it when batsmen try to cut or sweep me and, while attempting those strokes, get lbw or clean bowled.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
Abdul Qadir was my main role model. I just wanted to be like him because, for me, he was only guy who no one could read. He was that good. His passion, his love for legspin, was unique. He would create new things all the time: flippers, sliders, three to four kinds of googlies, legspinners, topspinners.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
For me, what is important is, as a legspinner, you need determination, especially in modern-day cricket. You need to feel that you can change a game.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
According to me, a leg-spinner is such a character who, on his day, can win the match for you if he is bowling well and has the support of the captain and the coach.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
One needs to have variations. You won't survive if you don't have one - especially playing in India, as they are good players of spin.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
If I want to hide myself from my limitations, then I don't want to play this game.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
You have to just adjust to the conditions quickly because there is a big difference in 50-over and 20-over cricket, and if you back yourself, you will do well.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I've played all over the world. I've played in England, South Africa, Pakistan.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I have bowled with another leg-spinner in county cricket - Shahid Afridi. But he is a totally different bowler than Mishra. I have a lot of respect for Mishra.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I am enjoying the experience of working with Mishra. For me, he is a world-class spinner.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
The off spinner's job is to contain; for me, leg spinners need to have a bigger heart than anyone else because it is easy to blame them.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I think I feel good as a South African player that people say that we always get into semifinal and lose... this is one of the biggest achievements to get into semifinal. Not many teams do that. For me, it's a real achievement.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I think I have the ability and can play a role in T20 cricket for South Africa.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
Playing with MSD, getting his advice and learning a lot from him, and I am really, really happy to be part of CSK.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I don't want to retire - I love the game and have a lot of respect and passion for the game.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
Playing for CSK, one of the best franchises in the world, I've to show people how much I love and respect this team.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
Thanks to technology, you can sit and see the opposition's mistakes and try to learn from them.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I love to help kids, especially spinners, in South Africa. You won't see many guys bowling legspin, so I want to try to see if I can develop another Imran Tahir.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I always dreamt that, but I never thought I will be here one day playing my 100th game for South Africa. It's an absolute honour and privilege, being given the opportunity by the lovely people from South Africa.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
My biggest ambition, ever since I was a boy in Pakistan, has been to play cricket at the highest level. If I can do so for South Africa, I'll give everything.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
Whenever I have time, I do my fitness. I go running on my own on Sundays or on Eid. I'd rather gym every day than go watch movies.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
I don't want to just keep playing for the sake of playing. The day I realise I'm not good enough, I'll go. I want to play as long as I can - not just to make up the numbers but to play with utmost passion.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
Losses are always hard to swallow, and every sportsperson has the same feeling.
Quote by -Imran Tahir
In T20, batsmen are always going after you, so a good policy is to bowl five-six dot balls in your first two-three overs so that pressure builds on the batsman, and he plays riskier shots.
