Aaryavir Sehwag, son of former India opener Virender Sehwag, is making waves the cricket circuit. The right-handed batter recently scored 160 to re-establish his credentials as a young prodigy. His knock came while playing for India against the UAE in a U19 Asia Cup 2026 game on Tuesday, November 10. His innings included 17 fours and seven sixes. While Aaryavir was always in the discussion when it came to rising batting stars in India, he has now become the talk of the town for his amazing knock.

As the player has been in focus during India's U19 Asia Cup 2026 campaign, an old video of him with Virat Kohli is going viral on social media.

In the surfaced clip, Aaryavir can be seen interviewing Kohli, who ends up sharing crucial advice with the youngster. Aaryavir pointed out that Kohli once received an award from Ashish Nehra when he was 14 or 15 years old. He asked Kohli how he felt after Nehra later played under his captaincy.

"This is why I say this: Always think, 'I can do it'," said Kohli.

Aaryavir scored a masterful 160 off 168 balls to help India U19 beat UAE U19 by 70 runs in the U19 Asia Cup at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground (Ministry Turf 2).

The India U19 side posted a strong total of 309/7 in 50 overs. Opener Aaryavir held the team's innings together. No. 3 VK Vineeth was the only other batter with a notable score, making 67 off 69 balls. The junior Sehwag and Vineeth put together a 193-run partnership for the third wicket and laid the foundation for a strong total.

During the chase, India kept the UAE side in check with regular wickets. Right-arm fast bowler Ishan Sood stood out with figures of 4/37 in seven overs, while the other six bowlers also picked up a wicket each to bowl UAE out for 239.

The victory also helped India U19 confirm their place in the U19 Asia Cup semi-finals as they finished second in Group A behind Pakistan U19, who had edged past them earlier in the league stage.

India won two of their three matches, having earlier defeated Nepal U19 as well. In the semi-final, the eight-time champions will take on Afghanistan U19 on Thursday.
