The cricketing journey is still going strong for 48-year-old Pravin Tambe. Defying age, breaking stereotypes and leaving th🎉e fans in wonderment; these are some of the virtues which aptly describe Tambe as a cricketer.
During a match between Trinb🍰ago Knight Riders (TKR) and St Kitts Nevis and Pa🌞triots (SKP), Tambe stunned the c🌄ricket꧂ing 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 gra𒊎b the catch.
Apart from the spectacular catch, Tambe bamboozled the SKP batting order with his imper🌱ious bowling. He conceded just nine runs and took a wicket in his spell of four overs.
Tambe became the first Indian player to feature in the Caribbean Premier ♎League (CPL) this yeaꦬr.
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”.
