Aaryavir Sehwag’s Father: Virender Sehwag
Aaryavir’s father, Virender Sehwag, is one of the most destructive opening batters the game has seen. Born on October 20, 1978, in Delhi, he grew up in a joint family in Najafgarh, which earned him the nickname “Nawab of Najafgarh”.
Sehwag scored more than 8,500 runs in Tests and over 8,200 runs in ODIs for India. He is the first Indian to score a triple century in Test cricket and went on to make two of them, 309 against Pakistan in Multan and 319 against South Africa in Chennai. He was also part of the Indian teams that won the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup.
Virender has been closely involved in his sons’ cricket. He once told them he would gift a Ferrari to whichever son broke his highest Test score of 319. When Aaryavir was dismissed for 297 in an Under-19 match in 2024, his father joked on social media that he had missed the Ferrari by 23 runs.
Aaryavir Sehwag’s Mother: Aarti Sehwag
Aaryavir’s mother is Aarti Sehwag, earlier known as Aarti Ahlawat. She was born on December 16, 1980, in New Delhi and studied at Lady Irwin School and Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, before completing a diploma in computer science from Maitreyi College, Delhi University.
Virender and Aarti had known each other for years before they got married on April 22, 2004. The wedding was hosted at the Delhi residence of the late Arun Jaitley. Aarti is a businesswoman and has largely stayed away from the spotlight, though she is often seen supporting her sons at their matches.
Aaryavir Sehwag’s Brother: Vedant Sehwag
Aaryavir has one younger brother, Vedant Sehwag, who was born in 2010. While Aaryavir is a batter like his father, Vedant has chosen a different path and bowls off-spin.
Vedant has already impressed in age-group cricket for Delhi. He picked up 24 wickets in the 2024-25 Vijay Merchant Trophy, the national Under-16 tournament, which earned him public praise from his father. Both brothers were part of the Delhi Premier League auction in 2025, which shows that the next generation of Sehwags is serious about the sport.
Aaryavir Sehwag’s Grandparents and Relatives
Aaryavir’s paternal grandfather, Krishan Sehwag, was a grain merchant, and his grandmother is Krishna Sehwag. The family’s roots are in Haryana, and they later settled in Najafgarh, Delhi.
Virender is the third of four children. Aaryavir has two aunts, Manju and Anju, and an uncle, Vinod. The family also runs the Sehwag International School in Jhajjar, Haryana, which Virender started in memory of his father.
Aaryavir Sehwag’s Cricket Journey
Aaryavir came up through the Delhi age-group system. He first made headlines in November 2024, when he scored 297 for Delhi against Meghalaya in the Cooch Behar Trophy, hitting 51 fours and falling just three runs short of a triple century.
In 2025, he was bought by Central Delhi Kings for Rs 8 lakh at the Delhi Premier League auction, well above his base price of Rs 3 lakh. He earned his first India U19 call-up in August 2026 for the series against Australia U19, and was then picked for the U19 Asia Cup.

Aaryavir played the biggest innings of his young career on November 10, 2026, at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Oman. Coming in at number three with India U19 on 62 for 1, he scored 160 off 168 balls with 17 fours and 7 sixes.
He started carefully on a slow, turning pitch and reached his hundred off 131 balls. After that, he changed gears and scored his next 60 runs in just 37 balls. He also added 193 runs for the second wicket with VK Vineeth, who made 67. India U19 finished on 309 for 7 and bowled UAE U19 out for 239 to win by 70 runs. Aaryavir was named Player of the Match, and the win took India into the semi-finals.
After the match, Aaryavir revealed that he had made a promise to his father before the game. “I had promised someone to make a big score today and thankfully I made it. And that person is my dad,” he said. “I have a legacy to live up to as he only likes big hundreds.”
