Aaryavir Sehwag Slams 160 in Under-19 Asia Cup, Joins Shubman Gill and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s Elite Club

Virender Sehwag’s son Aaryavir Sehwag delivered a remarkable performance in the Under-19 Asia Cup 2026. In a Group A match against the UAE at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman, the right-handed opener scored an impressive 160 runs off 168 balls, hitting 17 fours and seven sixes. India had lost wickets early, but Aaryavir steadied the innings and took on the opposition bowlers with confidence. He maintained a strike rate of 95.23 and helped India recover from a difficult position. VK Vineeth provided valuable support, scoring 67 runs off 69 balls. The pair added 193 runs for the second wicket, helping India reach a total of 255.

Aaryavir has been in impressive form throughout the tournament, scoring 252 runs in three matches at an average of 126 and a strike rate of 96.92. He had earlier scored 70 off 52 balls against Nepal, while he managed 22 runs against Pakistan. His latest 160-run knock has placed him among the Indian batters with the highest individual scores in Youth ODIs. Ambati Rayudu tops the list with an unbeaten 177, followed by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s 175. Aaryavir’s 160 puts him alongside Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal, who also scored 160 in Youth ODIs. Gill achieved the feat against England in 2017, while Mayank scored the same against Australia in 2009.
