The 42-year-old spin all-rounder who has been plying his skills in the maidens of Mumbai became a sensation when he turned out for Rajasthan Royals in the 2013 season of the Indian Premier League. With 12 wickets from five matches he bagged the Golden Wicket award in CLT20 2013. From captaining the DY Patil Sports Academy B team in Navi Mumbai, he received a call up to the Mumbai Ranji team after making waves in T20. The club cricket veteran is a highly-regarded leg-spinner and a useful middle-order batsman. Tambe was with Gujarat Lions in 2016 and will play for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2017
