SEE | Sachin Tendulkar, Vinod Kambli pay emotional tribute to their coach Ramakant Achrekar

Apart from Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli, Achrekar had also coached players like Pravin Amre, Ajit Agarkar and Ramesh Powar at his Shivaji Park academy.
Kambli expressed his disappointment that some of Mumbai's star cricketers did not play the match.
The 28-year-old is now the fourth Indian batsman after Karun Nair, Vinod Kambli and Dilip Sardesai to convert their maiden Test tons into a double century.
Between 1952 and 1953, Apte played as many as seven Tests for India. He amassed 542 runs in these seven Tests which included one century and three fifties.
Replying to Tendulkar's tweet, Kambli went down the memory lane to recall one of the funny incidents involving the batting duo.
Kambli feels that horses for courses should be the priority and the best players should be picked for a given format.
Ramakant Achrekar -- a first-class cricket player -- played a huge role in moulding the careers of the duo, especially Tendulkar's.
In his 24-year career, Tendulkar accumulated 34,357 international runs. The legend made his international debut at the age of 16 in 1989, and went on to become the leading scorer in Tests (15,921 runs) and One-Day Internationals (18,426 runs).
