Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar said he noticed the aggressive 'spark' in Virat Kohli when he made his India debut and that characteristic has rubbed off on the entire team.
Tendulkar, unarguably the greatest batsman in modern cricket, was coached by Achrekar at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai's Dadar as a child.
This is the third case of conflict of interest allegation being filed after former skipper Sourav Ganguly had to appear before Justice (retd.) Jain for deposition for his triple role as CAB president, CAC member as well as advisor of Delhi Capitals.
It was a day to remember for 30-odd unprivileged children, from different Mumbai-based NGOs, as they rubbed shoulders with Mumbai Indians' heroes, including Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and team mentor Anil Kumble in Mumbai on Thursday.

'By God's grace, everything is okay and we are back as friends.'
Fiercely protective of his privacy despite becoming a public figure in his teenage years, Tendulkar's response when he was approached for a biopic was: 'But I am not going to act'.
For Tendulkar, the biggest disappointment has been getting dropped from the Mumbai squad this season without being given a chance to prove his mettle.
