Pravin Tambe shot to fame from obscurity after he made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut at the age of 41 for Rajasthan Royals in the 2013 season. Prior to his inclusion in the league, Tambe had not even played first-class cricket but was a well-known name in the club cricket circuit.

After making a fantastic IPL debut, Tambe went on to become the leading wicket-taker in the Champions League T20 later that year. He picked up 12 wickets in the tournament at an average of 6.5. His performances that year earned him his maiden call-up for the Mumbai team in the 2013–14 Ranji Trophy.

In the 2014 IPL season, Tambe picked up a brilliant hat-trick against Kolkata Knight Riders, the first of that season and 12th, overall. His consistent performances at T20 level makes him an integral part of the RR unit.
