He gave a testament to the blood that runs through his veins and the batting DNA he possesses with a sumptuous show.
In a recent display of stellar batting by a young cricketer, an Indian legend’s son slammed a whirlwind double ton in Delhi’s clash against Meghalaya in the Cooch Behar Trophy at the MCA Cricket Ground in Shillong on Thursday (November 21).
Explosive opener Virender Sehwag’s son, Aaryavir, gave a testament to the blood that runs through his veins and the batting DNA he possesses with a sumptuous show of his rich strokeplay. Aaryavir delivered a stunning performance, amassing 200 runs off 229 deliveries, which included 34 fours and two sixes, coming at a strike rate of 87.34.
His remarkable innings put Delhi in a commanding position, closing the day at 468/2 with a 208-run lead. Fellow opener Arnav Bugga also contributed significantly, scoring a century and taking three wickets with the ball. The opening pair forged an impressive 180-run partnership for the first wicket.
Earlier, Meghalaya’s first innings ended at 260 runs, with pacer Udhav Mohan claiming four wickets.
Aaryavir, who debuted in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy in October, had already shown promise by scoring 49 runs in a match-winning effort against Manipur in the U-19 One-Day competition, helping his team secure victory by six wickets.

Sehwag had previously also revealed that his son was already looking to get an IPL contract.
He said on Star Sports, “My son is 15 years old and is already working hard to get a chance to play in the IPL.”
“The IPL has benefited young talent the most. Earlier, nobody got noticed from Ranji Trophy performances and hence couldn’t make it to the Indian team. But now, if you perform well in the IPL and you showcase your talent, then immediately, you get an opportunity to play for the Indian team. Because of the IPL, so many children from smaller states of the country have started taking cricket seriously and try their best to participate in the IPL and strive hard for it,” he added.
