With cricket being more than just a sport in India, it’s no surprise that academies are becoming the new nurseries for young talent. Among them, Cricket Bom, based in Raipur, is quickly becoming a launchpad for passionate kids who dream of wearing the Indian jersey someday.
Founded with the vision of bringing world-class cricket training to the heart of Chhattisgarh, Cricket Bom is not just another cricket academy—it’s a complete development ecosystem for aspiring cricketers. With a growing reputation across the state, the academy is now considered a serious stepping stone for players aiming to make it to district, state, and even national-level platforms.
“We always wanted to build something more than just coaching. At Cricket Bom, we’re building cricketers inside and out—mentally, physically, and emotionally,” said one of the lead trainers.
The academy runs a multi-level training program, offering beginner to advanced-level batches for boys and girls of various age groups. Every student undergoes a structured curriculum that includes skill-building, tactical understanding, and regular match practice.

Cricket Bom’s facilities include well-maintained turf and matting pitches, modern fitness equipment, video analysis, and professional-grade kits, ensuring that the players train in an environment similar to professional standards. The use of technology and analytics in coaching gives the institute an edge in tracking real progress over time.
One of the biggest differentiators is the focus on match exposure. Cricket Bom consistently organizes friendly matches, practice tournaments, and participates in inter-city competitions, helping players handle match pressure early in their careers. “Practice is important, but real growth comes on the field during competition. That’s where our players learn the most,” explained a match coordinator.
Apart from cricket-specific training, the institute gives attention to holistic development—working on players’ fitness, diet plans, and even mental toughness. Sessions with nutritionists and motivational speakers are held regularly to help young athletes maintain discipline and positive mindset.
Parents have shown immense trust in the academy. A parent of a U-14 player shared, “We used to wonder if serious cricket coaching was possible in a city like Raipur, but Cricket Bom has proved us wrong. It’s better than some academies we’ve seen in metro cities.”
The academy is also in talks with professional cricketers and coaches to conduct masterclasses and seasonal camps, giving players a chance to learn from top-level experts and interact with professionals.
With the IPL and state teams constantly scouting for talent, institutes like Cricket Bom are preparing players for those big breaks. The management is planning to collaborate with talent scouts and cricket boards to build a direct bridge between students and opportunities.
As Chhattisgarh emerges as a promising region for sports development, Cricket Bom stands at the forefront of this transformation, giving young players the training, support, and confidence they need to make it big.
For kids with a dream and parents looking for serious cricket development, Cricket Bom is not just a training centre—it’s the beginning of a journey.
