Abhishek Ambekar (born 11 August 1991) is an Indian footballer who plays as a defender for I-League club Sreenidi Deccan.
He was roped into the Air India FC under-19 team, coached by former Indian player Godfrey Pereira, who is also from Santacruz.
[1][4] Later Ambekar was handed a lifeline by RBI, who agreed to release players and encouraged sportspersons to continue playing.
At the cost of risking his progress at work, Ambekar started sniffing at opportunities to play in the big leagues again.
The I-League title triumph gave Ambekar's CV a necessary kick which was missing earlier in his career.
