Dinesh Rao
Board Director
Dinesh Rao serves as for the Sporrtslife Board of Directors, and comes to us with a long and colorful history within the cricket arena.
Though Dinesh was raised playing many sports, his first and truest love remains the game of cricket, where he dedicated years of his life and continues to cherish his connection to the sport.
Professionally, Dinesh has played in multiple semi-professional series and has even enjoyed playing with notable cricket greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Vinod Kambli, Sanjay Majrenkar and others while representing his cricket club.
Most notably, Dinesh credits his strong abilities as a coach to the coaching he received over the years from such legends as Shri Subash Bandiwadekar and Shri Ramakant Achrekar. Dinesh’s coaching philosophy is that “learning in the process of coaching is constant,” which colors his approach with every child and his or her unique talents and needs.
As a husband and father, he enjoys time with his wife Nirmala and their two sons Nishit and Varun, who are actively pursuing their dreams, with Varun following in his dad’s footsteps representing the Mumbai U16 and U19 teams, and currently playing for the National Cricket Club’s A-Division.
