Virender Sehwag earned a reputation for his mastery of the upper cut, a shot he executed brilliantly throughout his career. He frequently credited Sachin Tendulkar for teaching him this famous shot, which played a key role in his prolific run-scoring across different formats.

The former opener was one of India’s most prolific all-format batters. Sehwag played pivotal roles in major victories, including the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup, leaving a lasting legacy with his fearless and explosive batting style that consistently troubled bowlers around the world.

Aaryavir Sehwag was bought by the Central Delhi Kings for ₹8 Lakh in the DPL 2025 auction. When asked which shot he would like to emulate from his father, he chose the square cut and the upper cut, highlighting his admiration for Virender Sehwag’s fearless and inventive batting style.

He said, “  One shot that I can take from my dad, because I haven't really thought about it much, can be square cut (and) upper cut.”
