Background
Ulva is an 18-year-old right-arm medium pacer and right-hand batter who came through Saurashtra’s age-group system before joining the India Under-19 squad. Sportstar reported that he began with tennis-ball cricket in his village and that his father, a Railway Protection Force employee, encouraged formal academy training.
Ulva said his father saw qualities in him when he was young. Ulva trained at the Cricket Bungalow in Jamnagar under Mahendrasinh Chauhan, who also guided Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja represents Saurashtra in domestic cricket and is an all-rounder for India in ODI and Test cricket.
Sessions under Chauhan began with 24 or 25 warm-up laps followed by sprints and drills. Ulva began as an off-spinner before Chauhan suggested fast bowling because he was lean and ran well.
