Gujarat Giants, The WPL Franchise, Have Announced Pravin Tambe As Their Bowling Coach For 2025

The leg-spinner made his Indian Premier League debut for Rajasthan Royals at the age of 41, making history as one of the oldest players to play in the league and showing that age is just a number in the pursuit of passion and excellence. Later, Tambe became part of other IPL franchises like Gujarat Lions and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

At the age of 41, Tambe made his IPL debut for the Rajasthan Royals after transforming his career from a batsman to a leg-spin bowler. He has played 33 IPL matches in his not-so-long career and has picked 28 wickets for his side with very impressive economy. His journey has inspired many as he defied age and conventional norms to make his mark in one of the most competitive T20 leagues in the world.

Pravin’s coaching experience with Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants will help Gujarat Giants, who have failed to achieve significant success in both the 2023 and 2024 seasons, finishing at the bottom of the standings among the five teams.
