Watch: Virender Sehwag’s son Aaryavir recreates his dad’s trademark shots

Virender Sehwag’s explosive batting style remains etched in the memories of cricket fans. The former India opener transformed the way the game was approached at the top of the order, earning a reputation for fearless strokeplay and becoming one of the country’s most celebrated batters.

Now, a glimpse of Sehwag’s trademark style appears to be emerging in the next generation.

His son, Aaryavir Sehwag, produced a striking moment during the Delhi Premier League 2026 when he played shots that bore remarkable resemblance to one associated with his legendary father.

Representing West Delhi Lions, Aaryavir scored 22 runs off 14 balls in the 35th match of the tournament. His brief innings featured four boundaries.

Among the other shots, Aaryavir unleashed a backfist punch that looked strikingly similar to the shot Sehwag regularly played during his illustrious international career.

Fascinating glimpse

The resemblance was so noticeable that the DPL shared the two moments side by side on social media. The video showed Aaryavir’s shot in the top frame, followed by a clip of Sehwag playing a similar stroke.

The similarities in their technique were hard to miss, from the execution of the shot to the follow-through. It offered fans a fascinating glimpse of the batting traits Aaryavir may have inherited from his father.

While Aaryavir is still at the beginning of his cricketing journey, moments like these are certain to attract attention given the Sehwag name’s long association with fearless and attacking cricket.
