Nov 10, 2026
Aaryavir Sehwag is Virender Sehwag’s elder son, a 19-year-old right-handed opener from Delhi, and on 10 November 2026 he made 160 off 168 balls against the UAE to put India’s Under-19s into the semi-finals of the Asia Cup in Oman. He was player of the match. India play Afghanistan in the semi-final on Thursday, 12 November.
That innings is the latest in a run that started with a 297 in the Cooch Behar Trophy two years ago. Since then he has captained Delhi’s Under-19s, made 173 in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy and won his first India call-up. Here is his record so far, innings by innings.

| Total | 6 innings | 361 | 365 | 44 | 12 | Average 72.20, strike rate 98.90 |
Six innings, 361 runs, an average of 72.20 and a strike rate of 98.90. That is a strong start, and it needs one honest qualification. His two biggest scores came against Nepal and the UAE. The four games that ESPNcricinfo counts as Youth ODIs, the Australia series and the Pakistan match, give him 131 runs at 32.75, with a best of 47. He has got in against the stronger sides and not yet gone on, and the Afghanistan semi-final is the obvious place to change that.
The 160 itself was built in two halves. He and VK Vineeth added 193 for the second wicket after the captain, Lakshya Raichandani, fell for 17 with 62 on the board, and Sehwag was out at 255 for 2 in the 45th over. 110 of his 160 runs came in boundaries, which tells you how much of the scoring came from fours and sixes. Our report from Al Amerat has the full match.
The 297 in Shillong
The innings that first got him noticed came for Delhi Under-19s against Meghalaya in the Cooch Behar Trophy, the four-day Under-19 competition, at Shillong in November 2024. He made 297 from 309 balls with 51 fours and three sixes before he was bowled three short of a triple hundred, and Delhi declared on 623 for 5. His father, whose best Test score is 319, joked afterwards that his son had missed out on a Ferrari by 23 runs.
Captain of Delhi in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy
He led Delhi’s Under-19 side in the 2026-27 Vinoo Mankad Trophy, the national one-day competition for the age group. Against Chandigarh at Vizianagaram on 16 October he made 173 off 143 balls with 19 fours and eight sixes, and still lost: Rupesh Yadav made 167 and Chandigarh chased 290 with more than eight overs to spare. Our report on that game has the scorecard detail. Two weeks later he was in the India squad for the Under-19 Asia Cup.
In the Delhi Premier League
Central Delhi Kings bought him for 8 lakh rupees at the 2025 Delhi Premier League auction, and he made his debut against East Delhi Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on 27 August 2025. He opened and made 22 off 16 balls, including two fours in a row off the India fast bowler Navdeep Saini. In 2026 he moved to West Delhi Lions, and in August, during that season, he got his first India Under-19 call-up, for the Youth ODIs against Australia in Rajkot.
How he scores: the boundary count
| Runs | Balls | 4s | 6s | Runs in boundaries | Share | Strike rate | Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 297 | 309 | 51 | 3 | 222 | 74.7% | 96.1 | v Meghalaya, Cooch Behar Trophy, Shillong, Nov 2024 |
| 173 | 143 | 19 | 8 | 124 | 71.7% | 121.0 | v Chandigarh, Vinoo Mankad Trophy, Vizianagaram, Oct 2026 |
| 160 | 168 | 17 | 7 | 110 | 68.8% | 95.2 | v UAE, U19 Asia Cup, Al Amerat, Nov 2026 |
His three biggest innings share a pattern. Between 68.8% and 74.7% of the runs came in fours and sixes. The 160 was the slowest of the three, at 95.2 runs per 100 balls, and the 173 the quickest, at 121.0. He does not rotate the strike much; he waits for the ball to hit. It is a boundary-first method, and it is the one thing about him that does invite the comparison with his father.
Virender Sehwag’s son: why the comparison is unfair
Virender Sehwag made 8,586 runs in 104 Tests at a strike rate of 82.23, with two triple hundreds, 309 against Pakistan at Multan in 2004 and 319 against South Africa at Chennai in 2008. Our Virender Sehwag tribute covers that career. Aaryavir has not yet played senior domestic cricket for Delhi, so there is nothing at that level to set beside it. His Delhi Under-19 coach, Rajeev Nayyar, said in October that he may play for the Under-23 side before moving towards the Ranji Trophy. What he has is a run of age-group scores that would get any 19-year-old noticed, and a surname that guarantees he will be. Anvay Dravid, Rahul Dravid’s son, is in the same India Under-19 side. The tournament’s history is in our Under-19 Asia Cup winners list.
