Last year during the IPL, Virender Sehwag had said how his son’s long term plan is to get an IPL contract.
“My son is already working hard to get a chance to play in the IPL,” he had said on Star Sports.
“The IPL has benefited young talent the most. Earlier, nobody got notices from Ranji Trophy performances and hence couldn’t make it to the Indian team.
“But now, if you perform well in the IPL and you showcase your talent , then immediately, you get an opportunity to play for the Indian team.
“Because of the IPL, so many children from smaller states of the country have started taking cricket seriously and try their best to participate in the IPL and strive hard for it.”
Aaryavir and his opening partner Arnav Bugga (114) put on 180-run stand for the first wicket. Sehwag then put on a 100-run partnership for the second wicket with Vansh Jetly (42).
He was joined another fellow centurion Dhanya Nakra (130) and the duo sent Meghalaya bowlers on a leather hunt. The duo were involved in a 228-run partnership for the third wicket.
Aaryavir fail three runs short of his triple century as he was cleaned up RS Rathor on 297.
