Skipper of the Mumbai team and star Indian cricketer Ajinkya Rahane, recently uploaded a heartfelt message for the various stakeholders involved in the initiation and the actualization of a cricket academy he has set up in Mumbai.
Rahane thanked Ashish Shelar, the BCCI treasurer, and the chief ministers’ panel for the state of Maharashtra for helping to realise his dream, even though the winning skipper of the 2024 Ranji Trophy did not reveal the specifics of the establishment.
“I appreciate your support for my idea of a top-notch cricket academy and sports facility in Mumbai, Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @mieknathshinde ji, Deputy CMs Shri @Dev_Fadnavis ji & Shri @AjitPawarSpeaks ji, and Treasurer BCCI, Shri @ShelarAshish ji.
This academy will develop the next generation of champions in the city where my own cricket adventure started by providing young athletes with first-rate facilities and instruction.
Thank you for being a leader and motivator for Maharashtra’s better future! The Maharashtra Government, #Gratitude, #CricketAcademy.” Rahane posted on what was once known as Twitter, X.

While the Rahane academy may not be as large as the recently constructed National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, it will undoubtedly serve Mumbai’s youth and improve their technical and all-around game knowledge.
