Chandrakant Pandit continues to build on coach Ramakant Achrekar's legacy

Hindustan Times  

In his maiden appearance for Shardashram Vidyamandir, Chandrakant Pandit scored a triple hundred in a day against IES Pinto Villa High School before being dismissed off the final ball of the day. Sir slapped me and said: ‘I will not say anything if you get out for a duck to a good ball but throwing your wicket away is unacceptable’.” Another cricketing lesson that Pandit never forgets is from a Harris Shield final. Over time, Pandit has evolved as a coach, added to his skills, but the foundation is built on Achrekar Sir’s lessons. Sir used to always develop mental toughness.” Vidarbha’s back-to-back title-winning campaigns were also built on toughness displayed by their players. That is what I am following, be it Rohit Sharma or Parkar.” For Pandit, the reason for Achrekar’s toughness on certain players was because he saw talent in them.
