New Delhi: Virender Sehwag, the former Indian cricket legend, couldn’t hide his delight as his son, Aaryavir Sehwag, came tantalizingly close to hitting a triple century in the ongoing Cooch Behar Trophy. Aaryavir’s outstanding innings against Meghalaya saw him rack up 297 runs in just 309 deliveries, including three towering sixes and an incredible tally of 51 fours.
Almost hitting a major milestone and a tempting reward, Aaryavir was on the brink of a big achievement. Back in 2015, Virender Sehwag made a promise to gift his sons a Ferrari if they surpassed his legendary Test match score of 319 runs. Aaryavir’s recent performance brought him tantalizingly close, falling short by just 23 runs, which means the Ferrari remains an elusive dream for now.

Sehwag could not wait and took to social media platform X to appreciate his son’s innings, “Well played @aaryavirsehwag. Missed a Ferrari by 23 runs. But well done, keep the fire alive and may you score many more daddy hundreds and doubles and triples. Khel jaao.”
Back in 2015, Ferrari made a promise after a chat between cricket legend Virender Sehwag and renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle. This conversation happened during a festive gathering before the fourth Test match between India and South Africa at Feroz Shah Kotla.
In 2015, at a festive occasion held prior to the fourth Test match between India and South Africa at Feroz Shah Kotla, Virender Sehwag committed to the idea of getting a Ferrari. This interesting conversation took place with none other than cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle.
sharing his wish for his sons, Sehwag revealed, “Yes, my kids know I have made some humongous scores in Test cricket. So I have told them, if you cross that 319-run mark even in school cricket, I will present you a Ferrari.”
In the game, Aaryavir opened alongside Arnav Bugga, who quickly scored a brisk 114 from 108 balls, laying a solid base for the Delhi team. At the close of Day 2, Delhi was in a commanding position, reaching 468 for 2 in response to Meghalaya’s initial score of 260. Aaryavir shone with a notable performance but was stopped by RS Rathor, narrowly falling short of an incredible triple century.
While Aaryavir may still dream of owning a Ferrari, his recent accomplishment showcases his remarkable potential for success.
