Pravin Vijay Tambe (born 8 October 1971) is an Indian cricketer.[1] Tambe made his IPL debut at the age of 41. As a cricketer, the 50-year-old has had a remarkable journey. That is why a biopic is being made about Tambe. The well-known Marathi and Hindi film actor Shreyas Talpere could have played the role of Pravin Tamba.
Early career[edit | edit source]
When Pravin was young, he wanted to be a fast bowler but it was his Orient Shipping captain Ajay Kadam who asked him to bowl leg-spin. He was part of Shivaji Park Gymkhana team where his leg-spin impressed Sandeep Patil as well. "Sandeep Patil rated Pravin’s flipper highly," said Pravin's father Vijay in an interview with CricketCountry.[2]
Indian Premier League[edit | edit source]
Pravin had an interesting twist to his life. A man who never played for his city, was elected for the Indian Premier League. "For someone who has not even got a chance to play first-class cricket and has worked hard all these years in Dr HD Kanga Memorial Cricket League, it is terrific story" says Rahul Dravid, his chief mentor at Rajasthan Royals.[3]
Former club-mate and Mumbai selector Abey Kuruvilla also revealed that Pravin has only peaked over the last 8 years, ever since he switched from bowling medium pace to leg spin.[4] He received the Golden Wicket award (for taking most wickets in the tournament) in Champions League 2013.
Pravin took a hat-trick against Kolkata Knight Riders on 5 May 2014 in Ahmedabad which earned him the man of the match award. He also got the purple cap[clarification needed] for the first time in his career by becoming the highest wicket taker in IPL 2014 (till the 25th match).[5][3]
In February 2017, Pravin was bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad team for the 2017 Indian Premier League for 10 lakhs.[6] In the 2020 IPL auction, he was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the 2020 Indian Premier League.[7]
T10 Cricket League[edit | edit source]
In season two of the T10 League season, Pravin played for the Sindhis team. He became first ever player to take a hat-trick in 10 overs cricket format. He also became the first player to take 5 wicket haul in this format.[8]
Domestic and T20 franchise career[edit | edit source]
Pravin received his maiden call for Mumbai cricket team squad in 2013–14 Ranji Trophy and made his debut in the next round against Orissa cricket team.[9] He made his List A debut for Mumbai in the 2016–17 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 25 February 2017.[10]
In July 2020, Pravin was named in the Trinbago Knight Riders squad for the 2020 Caribbean Premier League (CPL).[11][12] He became the first Indian cricketer to get a contract in the CPL.[13] On 26 August 2020, he played in the match between Trinbago Knight Riders and the St Lucia Zouks, to become the first ever Indian cricketer to play in the CPL.[14]
