The Maharashtra urban development department has approved a proposal for a memorial dedicated to renowned cricket coach Ramakant Achrekar, who trained Sachin Tendulkar, Vinod Kambli and numerous other Mumbai cricketers.
Achrekar passed away in Mumbai at age 87 on January 2, 2019.
He belonged to that near extinct tribe of cricket coaches who gave talented Mumbai boys hope and imparted knowledge that they carried a lifetime.
