Aaryavir Sehwag, son of legendary Virender Sehwag, on Wednesday made his Delhi Premier League (DPL) debut for Central Delhi Kings. Similar to his father, the 17-year-old walked out as an opener and showcased the flair in his batting.
Aaryavir replaced Yash Dhull within the line-up because the latter has flown to Bengaluru to represent North Zone within the Duleep Trophy 2025. Sehwag had a cautious start, going off the mark on the 4th delivery. But soon he shifted gears and hammered back-to-back boundaries to Navdeep Saini.
Within the third over, Aaryavir hit Saini for a 4 through deep extra-cover. The subsequent delivery, he stepped down and smashed the ball between extra cover and long-off for a second consecutive boundary.

Aaryavir is within the squad of the Central Delhi Kings for the second season of the Delhi Premier League, while Virender Sehwag’s younger son Vedant is within the West Delhi Lions team.
In a recent interaction with Delhi Capitals, Aaryavir spoke about his father’s achievements and the way he looks at it, now that he’s an expert cricketer too, days after the previous was heard joking on commentary that each his sons don’t care rather a lot about what he says.
“As I’m playing skilled cricket for 2 to 3 years, I’m understanding what form of a cricketer my dad was. So, earlier, dad would say, ghar ki murgi daal baraabar (being taken without any consideration), nevertheless it is just not like that,” Aaryavir said.
Having made his ODI debut against Pakistan in April 1999, Sehwag first played at No. 7. Although his first three ODI innings didn’t get results, he scored a half-century against Australia in Bengaluru in March 2001. He finished his ODI profession with 8273 runs in 245 matches, at a mean of 35, with 15 a whole bunch to his name.
