Virender Sehwag's elder son Aaryavir has been included in the Delhi U-16 squad for the upcoming Vijay Merchant Trophy.
Notably, Aaryavir is one of the state's most promising young cricketers. He has uploaded the footage of his batting on his Instagram account, and cricket fans have expressed their anticipation to see his batting. Aaryavir was nominated to the Delhi U-16 team's 79-man probable list two weeks ago. The youngster, however, did not make the team for the Vijay Merchant Trophy opener against Hyderabad. In the current match against Bihar, he was ultimately named as the 15th man.
The Delhi and District Cricket Association's official Twitter handle posted an image of the team sheet, which quickly went viral after fans recognized Aaryavir's name on it.
