Legendary Indian opener Virender Sehwag’s elder son, Aaryavir Sehwag smashed an unbeaten double century in the Cooch Behar Trophy against Meghalaya.

The match at the MCA Cricket Ground in Shillong saw Meghalaya batting first and post a competitive total of 260 runs. Delhi’s reply was guided by Aaryavir and his opening partner Arnav S Bugga forming a 180-run partnership.

Aaryavir remained unbeaten on 200 runs off just 229 deliveries. His innings included 34 boundaries and two sixes. While Arnav Bugga contributed a well-made century before his dismissal, Sehwag continued to punish the Meghalaya bowlers, helping Delhi reach 468/2 at stumps on Day 2.

At the other end, Dhanya Nakra provided solid support, remaining unbeaten on 98 and just two runs away of his own century. The team’s comprehensive performance resulted in a substantial 208-run lead, putting them in a good position in the four-day fixture.

I will present him a Ferrari: Virender Sehwag

This brilliant performance follows Aaryavir’s promising debut in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy in October, where he scored a crucial 49 runs against Manipur, helping Delhi secure a six-wicket victory. Interestingly, Virender Sehwag had previously shared his son’s ambitions, revealing that the 15-year-old was already working tirelessly towards securing an IPL contract. 

“Yes, my kids know I have made some humongous scores in Test cricket. So I have told them, if you cross that 319-run mark even in school cricket, I will present you a Ferrari,” he was quoted as saying.
