One of the most sincere students of the legendary Ramakant Achrekar, Pravin Amre, has made his name in cricket. A member of the Tendulkar-Kambli batch, Amre was once told by Achrekar to become a better batter than Tendulkar. Notably, Amre scored a century on Test debut in Durban against the South African attack, and represented India in 11 Tests and 37 ODIs.
In his domestic career, Amre scored over 5,800 first-class runs, with a highest score of 246. He played for Mumbai, Railways, Rajasthan, Bengal, and even Boland in South Africa. At present, Amre is one of India’s most respected coaches. He guided India U-19 to a World Cup title in 2012 and has mentored the likes of Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, and Robin Uthappa.
In 2011, he started a cricket academy in Mumbai, called Amre’s Cricket Club, for children. He also helped Mumbai win two Ranji Trophy titles in his first three years as head coach. He is currently a talent scout for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL.
