'I was envious': R Ashwin makes honest confession about Ravindra Jadeja

Mohit Ulva, an allrounder from Surendranagar, burst onto the cricket scene with a blistering innings in which he hit a boundary off the final ball. This electrifying performance by the 19-year-old led to jubilant celebrations among the Indian team and supporters alike. Born to a Railway Protection Force (RPF) officer father, Mohit took to cricket under the guidance of Mahendrasinh Chauhan, the coach of India's allrounder, Ravindra Jadeja.

For four to five years, Mohit honed his skills under Chauhan's tutelage, displaying exceptional discipline and fitness. Once Mohesh Ulva, his father, was transferred to Rajkot, Mohit's training moved to the Railway Cricket Ground, where he continued to refine his abilities under the watchful eyes of Firoz Bhambaniya and Pratik Mehta.

Yere Goud, the head coach of India's U-19 team, highlighted Mohit's remarkable ability to remain composed even when his team scored only singles off the first five balls of an innings. His knack for adapting to different roles, whether anchoring the innings or delivering big hits, had previously come to light during a match against the Australian U-19 team.

Recognizing Mohit's potential, the Saurashtra Cricket Association has now included him in their Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) squad, promising a promising future for this rising star.
