His fascination with cricket blossomed in the fields of his local village, where he imitated the moves of his cricketing heroes as he grew up, driven by a passion that knew no national bounds.
Mohit's talent was unmistakable, and his commitment tireless. At 17, he moved to the UK, a turning point in his fledgling career, seeking formal training and exposure.
