About the academy
An academy built on the first principles of the professional game.
The Pitch is a modern cricket academy in Nagpur. We help aspiring cricketers — boys and girls — move from their first net to elite performance with structured coaching, athletic development, and a digital pathway through Striide.
Our mission
From the first stance to the senior squad.
Most local academies stop at participation. The Pitch is built around progression — every athlete moves through clear skill stages, with measurable benchmarks for batting, bowling, fielding, fitness, and mindset.
Sessions are led by Apoorv Wankhade, a former Vidarbha cricketer with IPL exposure, and a coaching team that brings the rituals of a professional dressing room into every training day.
Through our partnership with Striide, training continues digitally during the monsoon and winter — and the strongest players are surfaced directly to professional scout networks.
