Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
The year 2022 is about to end. It has been a year full of many sporting events, fulfilling the demands of sports fans across the globe.
In India, many upcoming sports personalities made a big name for themselves in 2022. With only a few days left for the year to bid goodbye, Google has released the top 10 most searched people in 2022 in India. The overall list has only one sportsperson’s mention. While many would’ve expected Virat Kohli, Neeraj Chopra, MS Dhoni, etc. to make the cut, it is former Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Pravin Tambe who has topped the list among sports personalities.
The reason for Tambe topping the elite list can be due to a biopic on his life, which was released on Disney+Hotstar in April 2022. Actor Shreyas Talpade played the titular role in the movie, which was appreciated by many for its inspirational story and acting. Tambe has had a memorable run as a cricketer. Having not played a single first-class game at any level, he was picked by the 2008 IPL champions RR at the age of 41 in 2013. He, thus, became the oldest debutant in the cash-rich league and made heads turn with a sensational hat-trick in IPL 2014, versus the Kolkata Knight Riders. Following this, he represented Mumbai in first-class cricket and also went on to feature in several leagues across the globe.
