About Seasonal Camps & Selection Trials
Why I Started This
After winning IPL in 2008, I saw so many talented bachhe (kids) like me just needing a break. That’s why I chalu kiya (started) this academy - to help ladke log (boys) and girls from all backgrounds chase their cricket dreams, not just those with resources.
How Our Camps Work
Cricket doesn’t stop for weather, and neither do we. Our summer and monsoon cricket training sessions run year-round. Expect early morning and late afternoon batches (7-9 AM, 3:30-5:30 PM), with a mix of net practice, personal coaching, and fitness drills. We work on basic skills, match fitness, and real-life competition prep. Even rain can’t slow us down.
Selection Trials: The Big Stage
This is where it counts. We host Mumbai school cricket team trials for major tournaments like Giles Shield (U-14), Harries Shield (U-16), and Kanga Knockout. Our ground’s also the official trial site for Chembur Karnataka High School. If you’re putting in the mehnat (hard work), we’ll get you noticed.
Proud Moments
Nothing beats seeing our students—like Omkar Patankar, Harsh Salunkhe, and Mitali Mhatre—make it to city and state teams. That’s what we’re here for.
What I Expect
Sirf mehnat (only hard work). No shortcuts. Just show up, listen, and push. If you do that, I’ll give you every chance I can.

My Story
Log bolte hain ki har accha cricketer accha coach nahi banta, par maine try kiya hai. Main ek simple ghar se hoon, cricket ka junoon bachpan se tha. 2008 mein Rajasthan Royals ke liye khela, IPL jeeta, Shane Warne ne bola main bada leg spinner ban sakta hoon. Legends ke saath khelke jo sikha, wo priceless hai. Academy shuru ki taki mere jaise ladke, talent wale, bina chance ke na rahein. Sapna hai - ek din mera bachha India ke liye khele, main stadium mein usko dekhun.
My Work
Cricket coaching for all - Personal training, group sessions, net practice, summer and monsoon cricket camps, real tournament exposure.
Fitness comes first - Agility drills, running, fitness training - baarish ho ya dhoop, practice kabhi nahi rukti.
Natural pitch cricket training - Real ground, asli maidan, potholes bhi milenge. Yahan match ki asli feeling aati hai.
Practice is key - Roz aao, mehnat karo. Practice se hi farq padta hai, perfect hone ka pressure nahi.
Middle-class cricket coaching - Zyada tar bachhe middle-class family se. Talent ho toh darwaza khula hai, process aur hard work pe bharosa.
