Virender Sehwag’s Legacy Lives On As Son Aryavir Produces Stunning Throwback Moment

Virender Sehwag is widely regarded as one of the greatest batters India has ever produced. The former India opener played numerous match-winning innings for the country and shattered several records during his illustrious career. After making his ODI debut against Pakistan in 1999, Sehwag went on to represent India in 374 international matches, scoring an impressive 17,253 runs across all three formats. His tally included 72 half-centuries and 38 international hundreds. Apart from his prolific run-scoring, Sehwag was also renowned for his fearless approach and trademark strokeplay.

While Sehwag has retired from international cricket, his legacy continues through his son, Aryavir Sehwag. Currently representing West Delhi Lions in the Delhi Premier League (DPL), Aryavir recently gave fans a glimpse of his father’s batting style.

The young batter was seen replicating some of Sehwag’s iconic shots, including the square drive and cover drive, leaving fans impressed. The DPL also shared a comparison video on its social media platforms, highlighting the striking similarities between the batting techniques of father and son.

Their partnership gave West Delhi Lions hope of pulling off a challenging chase.However, Tejas Baroka broke the stand by dismissing Krish Yadav for a well-made 46 off 26 balls. Yadav’s dismissal put the Lions under pressure, but Ankit continued to keep his team in the hunt with some aggressive batting.
