I'm waiting to see a movie on Pravin Tambe's life. Playing IPL at the age of 48 is phenomenal. So inspirational. Just signifies, if you have the skills age doesn't matter. #IPL2020Auction #IPLAuction

Pravin Tambe has been picked up by @KKRiders for @TheVivoIPLT20! He is 48!! His coaching academy is less than a mile from where I stay. Many say age is just a number. This guy is living that line! Will he get to play a match though? #IPLAuction2020 @legytambe Good luck sirji
