Pravin Tambe is a buzzing name in Mumbai club cricket circuit but it would have been limited to just that had 2013 not happened to him.

He was holding a job in the daytime while playing club cricket on the weekends. He toiled hard in Mumbai club cricket structure to get recognition but failed to do so for several years.
