The cricketing journey is still going strong for 48-year-old Pravin Tambe.ꦰ Defying age, breaking stereotypes and leaving the fans in wonderment; these are some of the virtues which aptly describe Tambe as a cricketer.
During a match between Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) an🅰🅰d St Kitts Nevis and Patriots (SKP), Ta🤡mbe stunꦦned the cricketing world with a splendid 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 backward point, made🐷 a dashing sprint and dived at the last moment to grab the catch.
Apart from the spectacul𒈔ar catch, Tambe bamboozled the SKP batting order with his imperious bowling. He conceded just nin✅e runs and took a wicket in his spell of four overs.
Tambe became the first Indian ൩player to ༒feature in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 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”.
