Like father, like son!
Former India opener Virender Sehwag's son Aaryavir produced a brilliant batting performance, smashing 160 against the UAE as India registered a 70 run victory in the Under 19 Asia Cup in Oman on Tuesday.
The 19 year old struck 17 fours and seven sixes during his 168 ball innings at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground.
It was quite a performance from a youngster carrying one of the most famous surnames in Indian cricket.
Aaryavir dominates UAE bowlers
Unlike his legendary father, who was famous for attacking bowlers from the beginning, Aaryavir started cautiously.
He reached his half century off 69 balls before completing his hundred from 131 deliveries.
But once he settled, there was no stopping him.
The youngster scored his next 60 runs off just 37 balls, putting the UAE bowlers under tremendous pressure.
He also shared a crucial 193 run partnership for the second wicket with VK Vineeth, who contributed 67 off 69 balls.
Aaryavir was eventually dismissed by Naseem Khan in the 45th over.
The innings helped India post an imposing 309/7 in their 50 overs.
India beat UAE by 70 runs
Chasing a challenging target of 310, the UAE managed 239/9 in their 50 overs.
Ahmed Khudada top scored with 74, but the hosts were unable to match India's total.
