Virender Sehwag's son, Aaryavir, emerged as India's Player of the Series as the team clinched the Under-19 Asia Cup 2026 title. Aaryavir also scored a half-century in the final, laying the foundation for India's tricky chase of 338 runs alongside skipper Lakshya Raichandani at the top. It was eventually a boundary on the final ball of the match that sealed India's win. After the game, Aaryavir had a video call with his father, where the two discussed the final moments of the match, whilst narrating some interesting behind-the-scenes incidents.

Aaryavir revealed that he was chanting 'Sita Ram, Sita Ram' during the nervous final moments of the game. In the end, he was amazed to see India's tail delivering the final blow to Pakistan.

"I was chanting 'Sita Ram, Sita Ram, Sita Ram' hoping that somehow, something would happen, something would happen. Then they hit... and after that, we needed eight runs in the last over... and they were batting... I was like, please let there be a boundary, anything at all, anything at all... and then it happened, brother! Everyone went crazy," he told Sehwag Sr during the call, the video of which was shared by the former India opener on Instagram.

Aaryavir also revealed that about 2,000 Pakistani supporters were shouting whilst he was being treated by the physios.

"There were so many TV crews there, and not just from Pakistan... Also, when I got injured, I got hit there, and the physio had to come out two or three times. There were about 2,000 Pakistanis in this stand, and they were all shouting and making noise. Only Pakistanis were supporting me when I was batting. Man, what fun... it was amazing!" Aaryavir said.

The senior Sehwag captioned the post: "Papa, I was so nervous... was just chanting Sita Ram, Sita Ram! From winning Player of the Tournament to recalling those nail-biting final moments, a very special conversation with beta @aaryavirsehwag. Some moments are bigger than awards, runs, and trophies. These are the memories a father will cherish forever. May you always keep your feet firmly on the ground and touch the skies with your hard work and talent. Shri SitaRam."

Virender Sehwag, also nicknamed the 'Sultan of Multan', has a huge fan following in Pakistan, thanks to his triple hundred in the city during a Test match in 2004.
