From CricArcade's IPL records, 2013 to 2016 · Sources

Pravin Tambe, a bowler, played four IPL seasons for two franchises.

The arrival

Pravin Tambe's first IPL season was 2013, with Rajasthan Royals, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 3 matches, 3 runs and 1 wicket at 8.00 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2014, for Rajasthan Royals: 15 wickets at 7.27 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.98, with best figures of 4 for 20.

Franchise by franchise

2013 to 2015, Rajasthan Royals. 26 matches and 23 wickets.

2016, Gujarat Lions. Bought at the 2016 auction for ₹20 lakh. 7 matches and 5 wickets.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Rajasthan Royals, 2013 to 2015.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 28 wickets in 660 deliveries, at 7.75 runs an over against a league rate of 8.02 for the same seasons: 0.27 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time. There was one four-wicket haul, and the best figures were 4 for 20.

30.9% of the balls Pravin Tambe bowled were dots, a lower share than 89% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 23.6 balls.

The fielding record: 1 catch.

At the auction

Pravin Tambe went under the hammer five times, bought four times and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹20 lakh, paid by Gujarat Lions in 2016. Unsold in 2018, Pravin Tambe was bought again in 2020 by Kolkata Knight Riders. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2017 and Kolkata Knight Riders in 2020.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

The legacy

Pravin Tambe made 33 IPL appearances, the last for Gujarat Lions in 2016, and won 2 player-of-the-match awards.
