Virender Sehwag's son, Aryavir Sehwag, scored a brilliant half-century in the semi-finals of the Under-19 Youth Asia Cup 2026. He scored 51 runs in 57 balls with the help of four sixes and four fours. The 19-year-old Aryavir had played a historic innings of 160 runs against UAE in the previous match, helping India win and reach the semi-finals. Such form just before the IPL 2027 auction is a great sign for any player. If his name comes up, several teams could bid for him.

Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat first in the semi-final of the ACC Under-19 Youth Asia Cup. The Indian bowlers restricted Afghanistan to 227 runs. Ishan Dheeraj Sood took the highest wicket-taker for India, taking three wickets. Aryan took two wickets. Paresh Patel, Yashwardhan Chauhan, and Arjun Rajput each took one wicket. Chasing the target, Aryavir Sehwag gave India a solid start with a century (117) partnership for the first wicket with captain Lakshya Raichandani.

Aryavir Sehwag is the son of former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag and, like his father, is an opening batsman. He has made a name for himself in the cricket world, and now, before joining the Indian national team, he will be eyeing a spot in the IPL. Next year will be the 20th edition of the IPL, with the auction process taking place in Goa on December 16th. This will be a mini-auction, so franchises can retain as many players as they wish.

This is Aryavir Sehwag's second fifty in the ACC Under-19 Youth Asia Cup 2026, in addition to scoring a century. He scored an unbeaten 70 against Nepal, 160 against the UAE, and 51 against Afghanistan today. As of this writing, India is close to victory; Team India's final match will be against Pakistan. Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 9 wickets in the semi-finals.
