The second season of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) began disappointingly for Old Delhi 6, suffering an 82-run defeat against Outer Delhi Warriors in their opening match. However, a young player showcased his talent in the game. Young all-rounder Uddhav Mohan delivered a stellar performance on his debut, claiming 5 wickets. He quickly became the talk of the town in his first DPL match.
Uddhav Mohan’s Explosive Performance
In the thrilling match played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Uddhav Mohan captured everyone’s attention with his bowling. He conceded only 26 runs in his 4-over spell, taking 5 crucial wickets. His fast and accurate bowling troubled the Outer Delhi Warriors’ batsmen significantly. Despite Uddhav’s efforts, Old Delhi 6 lost the match due to lack of support from other players. It was due to Uddhav’s bowling that Old Delhi 6 managed to all-out Outer Delhi Warriors for 148 runs. However, in response, Old Delhi 6 could only score 66 runs.
Uddhav Mohan is making headlines due to his connection with Virat Kohli. Uddhav is from the West Delhi Cricket Academy (WDCA), which was also the initial training ground for Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli. Kohli laid the foundation of his career in this academy, and now, Uddhav has emerged as a gem from the same place. Uddhav’s beginning, under the guidance of Kohli’s coach, Rajkumar Sharma, is inspiring many.
Uddhav Mohan has recently been selected for the India Under-19 team, where he is set to showcase his talent on the upcoming tour of Australia next month. During the Delhi Premier League auction, Uddhav was also in high demand. Old Delhi 6 bought Uddhav Mohan for Rs 6.60 lakh during the auction.
