Career
Kale began his career in 1992 for the Indian Under-19s against New Zealand. But in first class cricket, he could not find a regular place in the Mumbai cricket team and hence moved to Maharashtra cricket team, for which he played during the mid-nineties and averaged nearly 60 runs per innings. During the November 2001 tour against England, he managed to top-score for the Indian team, which brought him into the consciousnesses of the selectors.
His next tour, in 2003 against the West Indies, rewarded him with another shot at performing, until an incident after just one game in November 2003. Playing for a British club, Kale recently hit 39 runs – including six sixes in a row – off a single over in Kent, England. His achievement was helped by the fact that there were nine deliveries in the over, including three no balls. Playing for Kent League Division 3 team Linden Park against Catford Wanderers, Kale made 152 not out for his side's 247. Linden Park then bowled out Catford for 134. Kale scored a single off bowler Damion Grosscel's first ball, which was then matched by batting partner Michael Brown. Then came a two by Abhijit – followed by six consecutive sixes.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
