Former Rajasthan Royals spinner Pravin Tambe seems to live by the saying 'Age is just a number'. At the age of 48, the leg-spinner is breaking all sorts of stereotypes by playing professional cricket. Pravin Tambe's cricketing journey has been nothing short of a fairytale. Having played club cricket throughout his career, Tambe made history when he made his senior debut at the age of 41 for the Rajasthan Royals during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2013.

Pravin Tambe seized the opportunity with both hands as he bowled splendidly. The seasoned T20 bowler picked up 1 wicket in his quota of four overs and gave away just 12 runs. However, it wasn't his bowling but his fielding that left everyone stunned. The TKR spinner took a sensational catch to dismiss opener Evin Lewis for just 5.

During the penultimate delivery of the second over of the Patriots' innings, Evin Lewis slashed a short delivery bowled by Khary Pierre and the ball was travelling. Pravin Tambe, who was stationed at backward point, literally took off from the ground and grabbed onto a stunner to complete a brilliant catch, which sent the dangerous Lewis back to the pavillion. TKR eventually ended up winning the match by 59 runs and are currently at the top of the table with 8 wins in as many matches.
