Former India batter Virender Sehwag's elder son, Aaryavir Sehwag, hogged the limelight with his blistering 173-run knock in a Vinoo Mankad Trophy match recently. The Delhi captain smashed 173 off just 143 deliveries against Chandigarh U-19, striking 19 fours and eight sixes after opening the innings. On Sunday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a highlights reel of Aaryavir's knock on its domestic cricket social media handle. However, the BCCI was criticised by a section of fans for the move.

Incidentally, Bihar U-19 batter Anmol Kumar smashed 184 off just 86 balls on the same day in the same competition.

Fans criticised the BCCI for not giving the same attention to Anmol, who hails from Patna, Bihar, as Aaryavir, the elder son of legendary India batter Virender Sehwag.

What about Bihar's Anmol Kumar 184(86) in the same tournament on the same day ?

In the recent India U19 vs Australia U19 matches, Aryavir Sehwag and Dravid's son got picked and grabbed the limelight with a fifty, while players like Yashwardhan Chauhan, who scored a century and a fifty and took wickets, were completely ignored. Now, Bihar U19 batter Anmol Kumar has smashed 184 off just 86 balls, hitting 18 sixes and 11 fours in the same tournament on the same day Aryavir Sehwag scored 173 off 143 balls. Yet again, Anmol Kumar is barely getting any headlines, while the BCCI page is giving Aryavir the spotlight, they didn't even post about knock. Who says nepotism doesn't exist? At the very least, the difference in attention is hard to ignore.

Bihar's Anmol Kumar smashed 184 off 86 balls, with 18 sixes and 11 fours. Yet, BCCI's spotlight remains on "nepo kids" like Aaryavir Sehwag, despite him missing the top 10 run-scorers.

Meanwhile, Anmol's knock came against Haryana U-19 in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy. He smashed 18 sixes and 11 fours to help Bihar U-19 post 325 runs in 46.1 overs.

In reply, Haryana U-19 could only manage 288 runs and lost the match by 18 runs under the VJD method.

It was raining centuries in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy as Anvay Dravid, younger son of former India skipper Rahul Dravid, also hammered a 100-ball 151 to take Karnataka Under-19 to the knockouts with a five-wicket win over Gujarat.

This came after Gujarat cantered to a mammoth 357 for four in 50 overs, courtesy hundreds by Sameer Bhandari (119 not out, 88 balls) and Yash Panjwani (106, not out 57b).
