Mohit Ulva trained under Ravindra Jadeja’s childhood coach.
Pakistan had posted 337/9 in their 50 overs, with Usman Khan scoring a brilliant century. In reply, India got off to a good start through Aaryavir Sehwag and captain Lakshya Raichandani, but the middle order struggled against the Pakistani bowling attack.
India were in serious trouble after losing eight wickets, but Manal Chauhan and Mohit Ulva kept the team alive with their important contributions. Mohit eventually played a match-winning knock of 49 not out off just 26 balls as India completed a thrilling one-wicket victory.

Mohit Ulva is an 18-year-old right-arm medium pacer and right-hand batter from Gujarat. He has progressed through Saurashtra’s age-group cricket system and earned a place in the Indian U19 team.
Mohit started playing tennis-ball cricket in his village. His father, who works in the Railway Protection Force, encouraged him to take up professional cricket.
Mohit trained at the Cricket Bungalow in Jamnagar under Mahendrasinh Chauhan, who also coached Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
He initially started as an off-spinner, but Chauhan advised him to try fast bowling because of his lean build and running ability. He later developed into a medium pacer.
Mohit also played alongside Jaydev Unadkat in the Saurashtra Premier League. His unbeaten 49 against Pakistan has now made him one of the important names to watch in India’s U19 setup.
