Rele was an opening batsman. He played for Bombay University when they won the Rohinton Baria Trophy in 1954–55 and in 1955–56, when he captained the team.[1] He represented Bombay in nine matches in the Ranji Trophy between 1955 and 1957, including the finals in 1955–56 and 1956–57, both of which Bombay won.[2] In the 1956–57 final, after Services made 171 in their first innings, Rele batted throughout the Bombay innings, scoring 162 not out in a total of 359 for 7 declared off 142 overs; Bombay then dismissed Services for 150 to win by an innings.[3]
