Born in 2007, Aaryavir Sehwag has shown significant signs of following his father Virender Sehwag who was known for his aggressive approach with the bat who scored over 16,000 International runs across formats representing the Indian side.
Though in his teenage years, Aaryavir already has had a promising start after featuring in various domestic tournaments. Though the aggressive approach to take on the bowlers had backfired in the initial matches but following his 297 against the Meghalaya could well be the turning point for Virender Sehwag’s Elder son.
