Aaryavir Sehwag enjoyed a memorable Under-19 Asia Cup campaign, earning recognition from fellow young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after helping India lift the title with a thrilling one-wicket victory over Pakistan.
Sooryavanshi congratulated the son of former India opener Virender Sehwag through an Instagram story, sharing the tournament's leading run-scorers list with a simple message: "Star boiiiiii @aaryavirsehwag".
The gesture was particularly interesting because Sooryavanshi, despite being just 15, has already established himself as one of India's most exciting young batting talents. His message was a nod to another youngster making waves in Indian cricket.
Aaryavir thoroughly deserved the praise after finishing the tournament as its leading run-scorer. He collected 361 runs in five innings at an impressive average of 90.25, including one century and three half-centuries. His highest score was a magnificent 160 against the UAE.
He was subsequently named Player of the Tournament.
