An 18-year-old right-arm medium pacer and right-handed batter, Mohit Ulva, recently starred in the Asia Cup final. Ulva's impressive batting performance at number 10 against Pakistan Under 19 proved decisive in securing a victory on Saturday, November 14. His cricketing journey started with informal tennis-ball games in his village, encouraged by his father.
Recognizing his potential, Ulva's father facilitated formal academy training. He trained under Mahendrasinh Chauhan in Jamnagar, a coach who also guided India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Chauhan's rigorous training emphasized fitness, a discipline Ulva embraced. Interestingly, Ulva initially focused on off-spin before transitioning to fast bowling at Chauhan's suggestion, leveraging his natural physique and agility.
