After being ineligible to represent KKR at the IPL, KKR CEO Venky Mysore confirmed that Pravin Tambe would be part of his coaching staff at the 13th IPL. Venky also credited the bowler’s energy levels, calling it a ‘revelation’ for the enthusiasm it brings to the setup.
At the age of 48, Pravin Tambe became the oldest player to be bought at an IPL auction, as KKR swooped in for the leg spinner for the base price of Rs 20 lakhs. However, since the spinning dummy was part of the Northern Warriors in the T10 league, it prevented him from playing in the IPL. Following that decision, Tambe was hired by Trinbago Knight Riders for the 2020 edition of the CPL, where he became an instant hit.
After his best show at the tournament, KKR CEO Venky Mysore confirmed that the franchise has engaged the leg spinner to be part of its coaching staff for the upcoming season. Tambe would now be a member of the newly revamped KKR coaching staff, under head coach Brendon McCullum.
“At the request of the public, it was decided that he should come and join here and be part of the organization and help the team. Some of the enthusiasm he brings is incredible,” Venky Mysore said on Instagram live.
“Under these conditions, in practice, to be able to give some quality spin, a bowling option for the hitters to meet again. Just his contagious enthusiasm. We are very excited that he will be part of the set-up. fact. He comes with Coach McCullum. I’m sure he will come and boost energy levels, “he added.
Mysore continued to praise the veteran, admitting that Tambe is a “revelation” at the age of 48. He also credited his enthusiasm, which he believes is one of the reasons players want him on board.
“Pravin Tambe has been a revelation, again. For some like Tambe, at his age and at this stage in his career, using the word revelation is a bit strange. But every time he enters the field, even when he doesn’t, when He’s not playing games, he’s the first to go out, run with the drinks, say something, reach the dividing line, put the drinks down, and have a word of encouragement. “
“The guys at TKR loved him for his positivity, nature and enthusiasm. As the coaches said, he is the first to get on the field, do his sprinting and put some of the youngsters to shame.”
