Aryavir Sehwag scored 160 off 168 balls against the UAE on 10 November 2026, helping India reach the U19 Asia Cup semi-finals. Virender Sehwag’s son already had a near-triple-century for Delhi behind him. Now, his performances for India Under-19 are drawing attention.
The BCCI’s India-UAE match record, Match Centre names him Player of the Match in India’s 70-run victory. His group-stage returns also include an unbeaten half-century against Nepal.
Key Highlights
- He is 19 years old as of 11 November 2026.
- His official squad listing uses the spelling Aaryavir Sehwag.
- He scored 297 for Delhi against Meghalaya in the 2024 Cooch Behar Trophy.
- His three 2026 Asia Cup group innings produced 252 runs.
Aryavir Sehwag’s Age, Family and Playing Role
Born on 19 October 2007, Aryavir turned 19 before the current Asia Cup. The date appears in a Delhi and District Cricket Association trial notice, which lists him as an opening batter.
His father, Virender Sehwag, represented India as an opening batter. Aryavir has followed a route through Delhi’s age-group cricket before moving into the national youth team.
His playing profile includes:
- Batting: Right-handed opener.
- Bowling: Right-arm leg-breaks.
- Representative teams: Delhi Under-19 and India Under-19.
The BCCI’s Asia Cup squad announcement identifies Lakshya Raichandani as India’s captain. Anvay Dravid, Rahul Dravid’s son, is also in the squad as a wicketkeeper.
Delhi Cricket Milestones Before the Asia Cup
Two innings stand out in his recent domestic record:
- 297 against Meghalaya: Playing for Delhi in the 2024 Cooch Behar Trophy, he faced 309 balls and struck 51 fours and three sixes.
- 173 against Chandigarh: His 2026 Vinoo Mankad Trophy innings came off 143 balls and included 19 fours and eight sixes.
Mint’s account of his Delhi career records the Meghalaya innings. He finished three runs short of a triple-century; describing it as a completed triple hundred would be incorrect.
The two performances came in different formats. Cooch Behar Trophy cricket is a multi-day age-group competition, while the Vinoo Mankad Trophy is a one-day tournament.
His India Under-19 breakthrough followed selection for the September 2026 series against Australia. As Wisden’s report on his early youth performances notes, he made 109 runs across three innings before the Asia Cup.
U19 Asia Cup Performance: Scores and Match Impact
India opened against Nepal, lost to Pakistan, and then beat the UAE to qualify for the semi-finals.
| Date in 2026 | Opponent | Aryavir’s Score | Balls Faced |
| 6 November | Nepal | 70 not out | 52 |
| 8 November | Pakistan | 22 | 40 |
| 10 November | UAE | 160 | 168 |
Those scores total 252 runs. His batting average was 126.00, calculated across two dismissals because he remained unbeaten against Nepal.
The Nepal innings helped India chase 129 without losing a wicket. Viewers can see his boundary hitting in Sony Sports Network’s official match clip.
Against the UAE, his hundred required more time. He reached 100 from 131 balls, then added another 60 from his final 37 deliveries. His completed innings contained 17 fours and seven sixes.
India finished on 309/7, with the UAE dismissed for 239. The result turned his biggest youth international innings into a semi-final qualification performance.
India’s Next Match and the Records to Keep Separate
As of 11 November, India are scheduled to face Afghanistan in the semi-final on 12 November. The tournament final is scheduled for 14 November.
The immediate question is whether he can build on the group-stage scores in a knockout match. That result remains ahead; reaching the semi-final does not guarantee a place in the final.
His achievements also need accurate labels. The 297 belongs to Delhi Under-19 cricket, and the 160 belongs to an India Under-19 match. Neither is a senior India international score.
