Most of Praveen Amre's career has been dedicated to Mumbai ufffd first as a player and then as coach of the Ranji Trophy team. He was also a part of the Mumbai Indians support staff during the 2009 Indian Premier League (IPL) season.
Having serving Mumbai all these years, it would certainly not be an easy task for Amre, who is the assistant coach of the Pune Warriors, to be up against Sachin Tendulkar's Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium today. Amre will be rooting for Pune without doubt. "It will be an emotional homecoming for me. Mumbai and the Wankhede Stadium hold a special place in my heart. I have spent my entire career here. This will be the first time that I will be in the rival camp," Amre told MiD DAY yesterday. The former India batsman admitted that he was high on emotion, but said he could not afford to think of his Mumbai roots. "It will be a different feeling to be against Mumbai. But we are professionals and we cannot think about these things.
