Udhav Mohan's Ascendancy: From Purani Dilli 6 to India U19

Udhav Mohan, a promising batter from the Purani Dilli 6 team in the Delhi Premier League (DPL), has been named in the India under-19 cricket team for the impending tour of Australia this September. In a nod of recognition, Purani Dilli 6 extended their congratulations to Mohan for his feat. Earlier this month, during the DPL auctions, Mohan was acquired by his team for Rs 6.60 lakh. On Wednesday, the BCCI's Junior Selection Committee unveiled its 17-member squad, with Mohan standing among the top talents selected to don the national colors.

Akash Nangia, the owner of Purani Dilli 6, expressed his pride in the young cricketer, stating, 'We are extremely proud of Udhav. His selection in the India U19 squad is well deserved. I congratulate him as this is a proud moment for the entire Purani Dilli 6 family.' The India U19 team is slated to face Australia's U19 side in three one-day matches and two multi-day games, scheduled at the Norths ground in Australia, from September 21 to October 10.
