Like father, like son! Virender Sehwag’s son Aaryavir smashes double ton in Cooch Behar trophy

Former India cricket team opener Virender Sehwag’s son is on course to becoming a destructive player just like his father. Aaryavir Sehwag smashed a double hundred for Delhi in the game against Meghalaya in Cooch Behar trophy. He stayed unbeaten on 200 at stumps on Day 2, with Delhi leading by 208 runs in the 1st innings.

Just like his father, Aaryavir Sehwag believes in dealing in boundaries in the longest format of the game. He smashed 34 fours and two sixes en route to his 200-run knock, with a strike rate of 87.34. Sehwag’s son made his debut in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy and made an instant impact. He went on to score 49 runs, helping Delhi pick up a 6-wicket win against Manipur in the U-19 competition.

Sehwag wants his son to play in IPL

Last year, Virender Sehwag had said that his son is already working extremely hard to be in the IPL in the coming years.

“The IPL has benefited young talent the most. Earlier, nobody got noticed for 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,” Sehwag said.
