'Dravid' vs 'Sehwag': Aryavir and Anvay battle it out as Karnataka take on Delhi in Vijay Merchant Trophy | Cricket News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: The three-day match between Karnataka and Delhi in the Vijay Merchant Trophy National U-16 boys’ tournament brought a unique and nostalgic flavor as it featured a Dravid and a Sehwag on opposing sides, reminiscent of Indian cricket’s golden era.
In this junior cricket showdown, Karnataka’s U-16 captain Anvay Dravid, the younger son of former India skipper and current head coach Rahul Dravid, faced off against Delhi’s dynamic opening batter Aryavir Sehwag, the elder son of the legendary Virender Sehwag.
On the first day, the young Dravid faced a challenging start, getting out for a duck, while junior Sehwag made an impact by remaining unbeaten on 50. The ‘Sehwag vs Dravid’ contest in junior cricket added an exciting dimension to the match, reminiscent of the iconic battles between these two stalwarts during their playing days.
As the next generation of Indian cricket’s golden era continues to make its mark, this encounter provided a glimpse into the promising talent emerging in the country’s cricketing landscape.
While Arjun Tendulkar has already made his IPL debut and is a first team regular for Goa, Dravid’s elder son Samit is representing Karnataka in the Cooch Behar Trophy (National U-19 Meet).
Samit, however, has missed the India U-19 bus after a middling Vinoo Mankad Trophy (U-19 One Dayers) outing, where he scored one half-century.
In the ongoing U-16 match between Delhi and Karnataka at the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) Stadium in Mangalagiri, Anvay, the son of Dravid, faced a challenging start, getting out for a duck after facing only two deliveries. Karnataka were all out for 144 in their innings.
On the other hand, Aryavir, the son of Sehwag, displayed an impressive performance, remaining unbeaten on 50 off 98 balls for Delhi. His innings included seven fours and a six, showcasing shot-making reminiscent of his famous father. Aryavir’s stance and boundary shots bore a striking resemblance to Sehwag’s aggressive style of play.
This encounter highlighted the journey of the next generation cricketers, with Aryavir’s second season in U-16 proving to be a valuable learning experience.
While scores in junior-level games may not significantly impact future transitions to senior cricket, these young talents, including Anvay, will inevitably carry the weight of their famous last names as they progress in their cricketing careers.
