India great Virender Sehwag’s son Aaryavir on Thursday smashed an unbeaten 200 off 229 balls in Delhi U-19’s Cooch Behar Trophy contest against Meghalaya in Shillong.

Opening the batting alongside Arnav Bugga, Aaryavir hammered 34 fours and couple of sixes in his special effort. Bugga made a fine 114 off 108 balls.

One could even say that the former India opener had predicted this day for his seven years back. In a post from 2017 on his X account, the explosive batter shared a sweet photograph from his childhood alongside one from his son’s.

“Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice,” the post read.
