Aaryavir Sehwag Smashes 160 Against UAE in ACC U19 Asia Cup
· Sports · Times of India, Indian Express
Aaryavir Sehwag scored a sensational 160 runs off 168 balls for India against the United Arab Emirates during the ACC U19 Asia Cup clash at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman on Tuesday. The right-hander struck 17 fours and seven sixes, joining India captain Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal in an elite group of Indian batters with 160-scores at the Under-19 level. Sehwag also shared a 193-run second-wicket partnership with VK Vineeth after the UAE won the toss and elected to field. He was eventually dismissed in the 45th over by Naseem Khan, falling short of Ambati Rayudu's long-standing record of 177 not out against England in 2002. The innings follows strong recent performances by Indian youth batters, including Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Raj Bawa.
Why it matters
The performance highlights rising batting talent in Indian age-group cricket and puts Sehwag alongside senior India stars who achieved similar milestones in their youth careers.
