Rama Kant Achrekar was Sachin’s first coach and played an important role in improving the technique and temperament of one of the greatest batters of all time Sachin Tendulkar during his teen days. The right-handed batsman Sachin’s elder brother Ajit Tendulkar introduced Ramakant Achrekar to him at Shivaji Park, Dadar. In the first meeting, Sachin was not able to play his best game. Ajit told Achrekar that he was feeling self-conscious due to the coach observing him, and was not displaying his natural game.

Later, Achrekar was impressed with Tendulkar’s talent and advised him to shift his schooling to Sharadashram Vidyamandir (English) High School, a school at Dadar which had a dominant cricket team and had produced many notable cricketers. Prior to this, Tendulkar had attended the Indian Education Society’s New English School in Bandra. He was also coached under the guidance of Achrekar at Shivaji Park in the mornings and evenings.
