Aaryavir Sehwag Earns India U-19 Call-Up, Coach Hails Sehwag-Like Off-Side Play
· Sports · Sportstar, Indian Express
Aaryavir Sehwag, the 18-year-old elder son of former India opener Virender Sehwag, was named in the India Under-19 squad for three one-dayers against Australia in Rajkot in September. Aaryavir was most recently part of the West Delhi Lions in the third edition of the Delhi Premier League, where he featured in two games and scored 24 runs. West Delhi Lions head coach Udey Gupte praised Aaryavir's off-side game, saying he punishes width with cuts over point and cover just like his father did. Rahul Dravid's younger son Anvay Dravid has also been picked in the same India U-19 squad.
Why it matters
Aaryavir and Anvay Dravid carrying the legacies of two iconic Indian cricketers adds a subplot to the youth setup, while the Australia U-19 series serves as a key development benchmark for India's next generation of white-ball cricketers.
