“I lost my parents, which is the toughest thing to overcome.” — Imran Tahir Quote

I lost my parents, which is the toughest thing to overcome.

I try not to miss my prayers and the 30 fasts in Ramazan, but even if I do miss them due to my cricket, I make up for them later on.

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.

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.

I'm just really honoured to play for South Africa. Just to be part of this team is a special feeling.

If we strive and continue fighting as best we can, we can overcome a lot of the personal and professional problems that we do have.

Technique will always overcome strength.

I feel like every year it's something with me. I've got to overcome everything every year.

I think it's my personality to overcome things, learn from them and become stronger, both personally and professionally.

The underdog is a person that's at risk, a person that has a lot of big trials you have to overcome. I mean, that was my life.
