I clearly remember the dimunitive figure of coach Anna Vaidya sir toiling on the cricket plot adjacent to Achrekar Sir’s coaching nets

The recent unveiling of the Dronacharya Ramakant Achrekar memorial at Shivaji Park is a wonderful tribute to Achrekar sir’s contribution to Indian cricket.
It’s great to see that his efforts have been acknowledged by the residents of Shivaji Park. And while we hail the gesture, we must not lose sight of the contribution of many sports personalities in and around Shivaji Park, who made a significant impact on various sports.
