• Sachin Dhas was a player of the Beed U-14 district team when he hit his first century, an undefeated 156, during the Invitation Cup at Shinde College in Pune. The team was struggling at 38-6 when he took to the field. This outstanding performance led to his selection in the Maharashtra U-14 team.

• Following that, he went on to represent Maharashtra in domestic cricket across various youth levels, including the U-14, U-16, and U-19 teams.

• The lack of a turf wicket in Beed was a significant hurdle in Sachin’s training. Therefore, Sanjay Dhas and Sheikh Azhar raised a loan and developed six turf wickets. Yet, maintaining these wickets was also challenging due to the regional drought. They had to purchase water tanker services every two to three days for the upkeep of the wickets. Recalling the same during an interview coach Azhar said,
  

  Water crisis is acute in Beed. Every second or third day, I used to call up a water tanker (2000 litre). We used to collect money and thus those wickets have survived till now. Around 50 kids from different age groups used to train under me, the numbers have doubled since Sachin was picked for India U-19.”
