U19 WC Heroes: Maharashtra Police's ATS officer watching son Kaushal Tambe fulfill his cherished dream

Kanga League during Mumbai monsoons, Sunil Tambe also nurtured a dream of making it big in professional cricket. But just like hundreds of dream gets crushed in Mumbai by the second, Tambe knew that it's a arduous road with no guarantees as he decided to concentrate on academics. On Saturday evening, the current Assistant Commissioner of Maharashtra Police's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) must have tried to conceal an entire gamut of emotions that he felt when he watched his teenager son Kaushal get a wicket for India U-19 in the World Cup final against England. "I basically played university level and Kanga-level cricket for Mumbai, but I could not make a career in cricket. I had wished that my son should do something in cricket and he did it," Tambe senior, a veteran cop, who has been a part of ATS for last one and half years told PTI over phone. So has ever Kaushal felt worried about the nature of his job and his security as he deals with criminals? "No, never ever has Kaushal been jittery about my security," Tambe, whose wife is an advocate, said. It was Tambe senior's passion that his son imbibed early and aspired to become a cricketer.
