IPL Auction 2020: 3 things we learned

#1 Age is just a number for Pravin Tambe

Pravin Tambe was bought by KKR for 20 lakh

Some of the players are young enough to be his son. While prodigies such as Abdul Samad and Yashasvi Jaiswal were bought at the IPL 2020 auction, at the other end of the scale Pravin Tambe became the oldest player bought in IPL auction history.

The now 48-year-old made his IPL debut against Delhi Daredevils in 2013 and returned figures of 0-30 in 4 overs. Perhaps Tambe’s most memorable moment so far came against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014, when he snared a hat-trick.

With consistent performances over the last seven years, Tambe has proved that age is just a number. The leg-spinner is still going strong at 48. In fact, in a recent interview, he said that age is what one feels, and he does not think he’s a day older than 20.

Tambe will certainly look forward to playing for KKR in 2020.
