Virender Sehwag's Son Aaryavir Takes Internet By Storm, Slams Double Century In This Prestigious Tournament

Aaryavir Sehwag, son of former India batter Virender Sehwag, hogged all the limelights on Thursday after he smashed a double century for Delhi on Day 1 of their Cooch Behar Trophy match against Meghalaya. The 17-year-old Aaryavir smashed an unbeaten 200 as Delhi took a 208-run lead at the MCA Cricket Ground in Shillong. For the record, Cooch Behar Trophy is a four-day cricket tournament organished by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for the Under 19 players.

After opting to bat, hosts Meghalaya managed just 260 runs in the 1st innings. In reply, Aaryavir and Arnav S Bugga stitched 180 runs for the 1st wicket, laying the foundation of Delhi's strong response.

Bugga scored a century before his dismissal on Day 2, but Aaryavir carried his bat to the dressing room at the end of the day's play. He was unbeaten on 200 off just 229 balls.

Apart from Aaryavir, Dhanya Nakra was also unbeaten on 98, scored from 91 balls.
