“Keep the fire alive…”: Virender Sehwag reacts to son’s REMARKABLE knock in Cooch Behar Trophy

Sehwag showered praise on son Aaryavir, who played an incredible knock of 297 runs off just 309 deliveries in the Cooch Behar Trophy

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag’s son had nothing but praise for son Aaryavir who played a magnificent knock of 297 runs in the Cooch Behar Trophy for his state side Delhi against Meghalaya.

Aaryavir was dismissed after scoring a mammoth 297 runs off just 309 deliveries. The innings included an outrageous 51 boundaries and 3 sixes. However, Sehwag’s son ended up missing out on a Ferrari by 23 runs.

For context, Sehwag senior had promised his son a Ferrari if he could break his record of 319 runs in a test match innings, however Aaryavir ended up falling short by a very small margin.

“Well played @aaryavirsehwag. Missed a Ferrari by 23 runs. But well done, keep the fire alive and may you score many more daddy hundreds and doubles and triples. Khel jaao,” Sehwag wrote on X.

Back in 2015, Sehwag, in a chat with cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle, said that he had promised his sons a Ferrari if they beat his highest score of 319.

“Yes, my kids know I have made some humongous scores in Test cricket. So I have told them, if you cross that 319-run mark even in school cricket, I will present you a Ferrari,“ Sehwag told Harsha Bhogle in 2015.

Coming to the match, Delhi asserted dominance over Meghalaya on the second day by putting up a massive total of 468/2 in response to Meghalaya’s 260.
