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:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
