Imran Tahir, the captain of Guyana Amazon Warriors, expressed his gratitude to R Ashwin for his prediction that their team would triumph in the CPL 2023 tournament after they clinched their first title.

During the post-match presentation following Amazon Warriors' nine-wicket victory over Trinbago Knight Riders, Tahir acknowledged Ashwin's prediction and expressed his appreciation to various individuals. He also made a point to those who had initially joked about his appointment as captain.

Reflecting on the journey, Tahir mentioned, "It's been a great experience playing for these beautiful people who always come and support us. I'm just grateful to the almighty first of all. Coming into the competition, everyone was sending jokes that I had become a captain, so I think actually those things motivated me, so I actually want to thank those people who said that, and I also want to thank my family, all the players' families, they've been on the road with us. It's been a great journey, very special journey."

Tahir also extended his gratitude to the team's analyst, Prasanna Agoram, for his dedicated efforts and valuable insights in strategizing. Additionally, he thanked Ashwin from India for his encouraging words before the competition, foreseeing their victory.

He said, “Also want to thank our analyst Prasanna, he's been working every day, 20 hours a day, and giving me all the plans. I'm really, really grateful to him, and also want to thank Ashwin from India. He said before the competition that we will do it."

While Amazon Warriors secured the top spot in the league table, they faced a setback in the first Qualifier, losing to Trinbago Knight Riders. However, they made a strong comeback, bowling out Jamaica Tallawahs for 101 in the second Qualifier and restricting Knight Riders to just 94 runs in the final, ultimately claiming the CPL 2023 title.
