The cricketing journey is still going strong for 48-year-old Pravin Tambe. Defying age, breaking stereotypes and leaving the fans in wonderment; these are some of the virtues which aptly de♌scribe Tambe as a cricketer.
During a match between Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) a🍌nd St Kitts Nevis and Patriots (SKP), Tambe stunned the cricketing world with a sไplendid catch in the field.
It was the seventh over of the match when SKP’s batsman Ben Dunk attempted a reverse sweep off Fawad Ahmed’s delivery. Dunk could only manage a top-edge and the ball flew towards the third man.
Tambe, who was stationed at ꦛbackward point, made a dashing sprint and dived at the last moment 💝to grab the catch.
Apart from the spectacular catch, Tambe bamboozled the SKP batting order with his imperious bowling. He coꦜnceded just nine runs and took a wicket inﷺ his spell of four overs.
Tambe b♓ecame the first Indian player to feature in the Caribbean Premier League (CP🐬L) this year.
CPL uploaded the video on their official Twitter handle and captioned it as: “PRAVIN TAMBE!! Aged like fine wine! A brilliant catch and a Wicket! #CPL20 #CricketPlayedLouder #SKPvTKR”.
