Pravin Tambe hoping to rekindle form with Sunrisers Hyderabad

Pravin Tambe is perhaps one of the most impressive people in recent times given the fact that he remains to have the fire in his belly. This has also seen him become perhaps one of the few in the world who has been quite impressive such as the likes of Brad Hogg  and a few other driven individuals. Tambe was picked up by the Sunrisers Hyderabad for his base price of 10 Lakh and is hoping to put his best foot forward.

“SRH is a well-run franchise. They are defending champions as well. Hopefully, I will get a chance to play a lot of matches. It doesn’t matter which franchise I’m playing for as my only goal is to perform well,” Tambe said.

“It’s a part and parcel of every sportsperson’s life. I have never taken such things negatively. I played seven matches for Gujarat last season and did well apart from maybe one or two matches, which is inevitable especially in the T20 format,” he added.

Tambe went ahead and stated that the selection in the Vijay Hazare squad was something that he was certainly pleased with. “I was selected in the Mumbai squad for the Vijay Hazare knockouts back in 2013, but I didn’t get to play and we lost that game. I have performed well for both Mumbai and West Zone in the T20s recently. So I am hoping to play this time around,” Tambe said.

Speaking about the format he enjoys, Tambe went ahead and said that the opportunity for him was in the shortest format. “I enjoy the longer format as much as the shorter formats. But I have got most of my chances only in the T20 format. I cannot do anything about it,” he said.

“Only when you keep saying that I’m 45, am I reminded of my age. Otherwise, I don’t think about it. I feel I am extremely fit and can do all the things on the field that are required. Till the time that I am enjoying the game, I will keep playing,” Tambe signed off.
