The former Indian opening batter Virender Sehwag’s older son, Aaryavir, was bought for a huge price of INR 8 lakh by Central Delhi Kings during the 2025 season of the Delhi Premier League (DPL). At the age of just 18, the batter is already a part of the under-19 side of the Delhi state team. 

Aaryavir picked his favorite player in a ‘This or That’ game on the sidelines of the DPL 2025. He was given the choice to choose between the Indian Test captain, Shubman Gill, and the T20I opener of the side, Abhishek Sharma, to which the youngster picked the former. Gill stayed ahead of KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, and Sanju Samson.

Moreover, Gill was picked over the former Indian captain, MS Dhoni, who won the T20 World Cup 2007 in South Africa, the home ODI World Cup 2011, and later the Champions Trophy 2013 in England. Aaryavir picked the Punjab-born ahead of Rohit Sharma, who won the T20 World Cup 2024 in the West Indies and the United States of America.

“If it were retired players, then Sachin Tendulkar, but I would go for Virat Kohli as he is my era's greatest batsman. My dream is to share the dressing room with Virat Kohli if I get an opportunity to play this soon in the IPL.” Aaryavir expressed to Inside Sport.

One of the notable performances of the batter is his 297 runs during the 2024-25 Cooch Behar Trophy, which was the highest individual score of that season. Against Manipur, he also impressed on his U-19 Vinoo Mankad Trophy debut in 2024 with 49 runs. His Central Deli Kings side has played eight games in DPL 2025 to win five and is second on the table.
