Cricket's Next Gen: Sehwag's Son Outshines Bihar Star
18 Oct
Summary
- Aaryavir Sehwag scored 173 off 143 balls in a junior cricket match.
- Anmol Kumar from Bihar hit 184 off 86 balls in the same competition.
- Fans criticized BCCI for highlighting Sehwag's son over Anmol Kumar.
A recent Vinoo Mankad Trophy match saw Aaryavir Sehwag, son of former India batter Virender Sehwag, score a remarkable 173 runs off 143 balls. This innings, which included 19 fours and eight sixes, was highlighted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on social media.
However, this spotlighting drew criticism from fans. Many pointed out that on the same day, Anmol Kumar from Patna, Bihar, achieved a more explosive century, scoring 184 runs off just 86 balls against Haryana U-19. Anmol's performance was instrumental in Bihar U-19 setting a target of 325 runs.
In response to Bihar's score, Haryana U-19 could only muster 288 runs, resulting in an 18-run victory for Bihar under the VJD method. The tournament also witnessed another notable performance from Anvay Dravid, son of Rahul Dravid, who scored 151 off 100 balls for Karnataka Under-19, helping them reach the knockout stage.
