Virender Sehwag’s son Aryveer told that once in the IPL match, he arrived late due to traffic and his father was dismissed. He mentioned the cricket atmosphere in childhood and the greatness of Papa. Now he himself is playing professional cricket.

Delhi: Former India opener and veteran batsman Virender Sehwag is known for his fearless batting and big shots. Sehwag was a player who could change the attitude of the match in a session on his own. He scored the first triple century for India in Test cricket and his score remained a record for a long time in ODIs.

Sehwag’s son told special anecdote

Now his son Aryveer Sehwag has also stepped into cricket and recently he shared a fun memory to his childhood. In a video shared by Delhi Capitals, 17 -year -old Aryveer said, “My early memories are to the matches when Papa used to play for Delhi Daredevils. My first memory is that once Papa was playing in Delhi. But, it is very regrettable that he was out very quickly, even we did not reach the stadium.”

Aryveer laughed and told that in childhood he and his brother used to play cricket with plastic bat-ball, because there was always an atmosphere of cricket at home. Now that he himself is playing in the Delhi Premier League (DPL), he understands the real importance of his father’s achievements in cricket.

He said, “I have been playing professional cricket for the last few years and now I have started to understand how big players my father was.”
