- DINESH LAD CRICKET FOUNDATION
COACHING CRICKET PASSIONATES SINCE 1995.
Former Western Railways player and employee, Coach Dinesh Lad has been giving cricket coaching in Mumbai since 1995. Coach Lad has produced cricket stars such as Rohit Sharma, India’s current captain, Shardul Thakur. His own son Siddhesh Lad is a Ranji Trophy winner. He has molded nearly 80.
Coach Lad does not charge a fee for coaching. He never saw coaching as a source of income. He is known to open door of his home to students if they need a place to stay and finance cricket gears, school fees to poor students. During Rohit Sharma’s struggling days, Coach Lad got him a freeship to study at Swami Vivekanand International School, accommodated Shardul Thakur with his family for a year as it was difficult for him to travel back daily to his home since he lived out of town, accommodated Atif Attarwala for 5 years at his home. Currently, Coach Lad has taken two boys, a vegetable vendor’s son and a labourer’s son under his wing. His non-mercenary approach to coaching was inspired by the late coach of the Ramakant Achrekar.
Ranji level players till now.
