Virender Sehwag’s Son Aaryavir Hits Century in Must-Win IND vs UAE Match at U19 Asia Cup 2026

Aaryavir Sehwag, son of Virender Sehwag, has scored an unbeaten century in the ACC Under-19 Asia Cup 2026 match between India and the UAE on Tuesday, 10 November. India lost the toss and are batting first in the do-or-die game.

India appeared to be in difficulty when captain Lakshya Raichandani was dismissed at 62. Aaryavir remained at the crease and completed his century. He and V.K. Vineeth have added more than 140 runs for the second wicket.

The pitch was considered favourable for bowling in the first innings, which is why the UAE captain chose to bowl first after winning the toss. Aaryavir's innings has gone against that assessment.

What the UAE Captain Said at the Toss

After winning the toss, UAE captain Ayaan Misbah said his side would bowl first. He said the team had played a lot on this ground towards the end of the tournament and that bowling first is always better.

He said the ball moves a lot in the first ten overs and the team would try to take advantage of it. He added that the team was planning to play without fear and with full confidence.

What Cricbuzz's Pitch Report Had Said

Cricbuzz had said in its pre-match report that the weather was clear and sunny. It said the last league-stage match, between India and the UAE, was being played in hot, sunny conditions with no wind.

The match is on pitch number three, where the Afghanistan vs Malaysia match was played. That was a short match, and the Afghan bowlers made full use of the conditions.

The report said the pitch had some moisture and grass across the entire wicket. It said the pacers would get help in the first hour and would need to make use of those conditions. After that, it said, chasing would become easier.

Aaryavir Sehwag's Innings

At the time of writing, Aaryavir was batting on 145 off 158 balls, with 16 fours and six sixes. India's score was 217 for one in 41 overs.
