Aaryavir’s confidence stands out, says DPL coach
Aaryavir Sehwag, son of cricketer Virender Sehwag, has been selected for the India under-19 cricket squad. Despite limited T20 experience, his coach highlights his confidence and aggressive batting style as key assets.
Why it matters
The selection highlights the ongoing development of second-generation athletes in Indian cricket and the focus on grooming young talent for international competition.
The surname is Sehwag. There are shades of his famous father in his ability to carve the ball through the off-side.
Ever since Aaryavir Sehwag held a cricket bat seriously, he has had high expectations to meet. On Thursday, the 18-year-old, the elder son of Virender Sehwag, took a significant step in his development by earning a call-up into the India under-19 squad for three one-dayers against Australia in Rajkot in September.
Interestingly, Anvay Dravid, the younger son of Rahul Dravid, has also been picked in the squad.
Aaryavir was most recently involved with the West Delhi Lions in the third edition of the Delhi Premier League. The young opener featured in two games and scored just 24 runs this season, but Aaryavir’s confidence and infectious energy stayed intact throughout.
