Praveen Amre hails Mohit’s 49* as best U‑19 Asia Cup innings

Mumbai, 15 November – In a dramatic conclusion to the ACC Under‑19 Asia Cup, India lifted the trophy after a one‑wicket triumph over Pakistan. The decisive contribution came from Mohit Ulva, who, batting at number ten, scored an unbeaten 49 runs from just 26 balls, capping the chase with a powerful six on the final ball.

Former player‑coach Praveen Amre described Mohit’s effort as possibly the finest innings of the tournament, noting the youngster’s composure at 19 was comparable to a veteran of multiple World Cups. Amre emphasized the strategic impact of VRV Singh’s bowling guidance, which helped India claim three key wickets and restrict Pakistan’s scoring in the last ten overs.

Aryveer Sahawag, who earned the player‑of‑the‑tournament award, provided a solid platform, while Mohit secured the player‑of‑the‑match honor. Amre expressed optimism about Mohit’s future, suggesting that the IPL 2027 mini‑auction could see the all‑rounder receive a lucrative contract.
