Cricket is India’s longest love story. A game that demands patience, discipline and respect for the craft. At the Centre for Sports Excellence, the cricket programme is run by Six Cricket and was shaped under the guidance of Rahul Dravid. The programme focuses on strong fundamentals and long term athlete development. The academy operates within the CSE facility, which is home to 450+ full time athletes. With extensive practice spaces and high performance infrastructure, it is one of the largest cricket training environments in the region.

Six Cricket Academy

Set up at CSE in 2017, Six Cricket Academy began under the mentorship of Rahul Dravid and is led on ground by former Karnataka Ranji Trophy captain Karthik Jeshwanth. Built on a simple idea: Cricket for All, it gives boys and girls a clear way to learn the game well and keep growing.

The academy’s squads regularly earn Karnataka state selections across BCCI pathways, with recent call-ups for the U-19 Vinoo Mankad Trophy, the Men’s U-23 State “A” Trophy, and a Men’s U-19 One-Day Challenger invite.

Training follows a stepped ladder on campus: the long-running Fast Bowling Camp, Kinder Cricket for ages 5–8 with a 1:6 coach-to-athlete ratio, and season-long teams that play league and intra-academy cricket.
