The 19-year-old Aaryavir Sehwag’s stocks seem to be on the rise after the youngster smashed a terrific ton on Tuesday. Sehwag reached his century on the fifth ball of the 34th over with a single off Bilal Khan’s bowling. He removed his helmet and celebrated the moment. He was given a huge round of applause by his teammates. 

The batter began the campaign with an unbeaten 70 off 52 balls, with seven boundaries and four sixes against Nepal U-19. In the game against Pakistan, the youngster scored just 22 runs from 40 balls. Indian under-19 side eventually went on to lose the game. 
India Under-19 played the same side that competed against Pakistan on Sunday in a must-win game against UAE U19 in Al Amerat. Aaryavir started cautiously, scoring just four runs from his first 14 balls. His first boundary came on the final ball of the fourth over. 
After a shaky start, the batter seemed to find his confidence as he mixed caution and aggression. Sehwag junior hit Noorullah Ayobi for two successive fours in the sixth over to signal his intention. He hit his first six off Zainullah Rehmani’s bowling on the first ball of the 16th over. The batter eventually reached his fifty off 69 balls with a massive hit off Ayobi’s bowling.
