Almost nine years after interviewing Virat Kohli as a young child, Aaryavir Sehwag is attracting attention for his performances on the cricket field. A video of his 2017 interaction with the former India captain has resurfaced on social media after the son of legendary opener Virender Sehwag smashed a magnificent 160 in the Under-19 Asia Cup.

Aaryavir was still a child when he interviewed Kohli, who was then leading India across all three formats, for Star Sports. Nearly a decade later, the youngster is beginning to make his own mark in age-group cricket.

His impressive knock against the United Arab Emirates on Monday helped India secure a 70-run victory and book their place in the semi-finals. The 19-year-old scored 160 runs from 168 deliveries, hitting 17 boundaries and seven sixes. He also shared a crucial 193-run partnership with VK Vineeth, who contributed 67 runs, as India posted 309/7.

Following his memorable performance, the old interview featuring Aaryavir and Kohli began circulating widely online. During the interaction, the youngster asked Kohli about his first meeting with his father, Virender Sehwag.

Kohli recalled meeting the former India opener in Delhi through a state-level coach who was familiar with both players. The meeting took place after Kohli had registered his first double century in Under-17 cricket.

Aaryavir also questioned Kohli about a famous photograph in which Ashish Nehra presented a trophy to the former India captain during his teenage years. Kohli subsequently spoke about his journey and encouraged the youngster to dream big and have confidence in his abilities.

Interestingly, Aaryavir has previously expressed admiration for Kohli’s batting approach. Ahead of the tournament, he spoke about wanting to incorporate certain aspects of the former India captain’s game into his own batting.

The 160-run effort against the UAE was Aaryavir’s maiden Youth ODI century. He had also impressed earlier in the competition, scoring an unbeaten 72 against Nepal. Although being the son of Virender Sehwag naturally brings expectations, Aaryavir is gradually building his own reputation through consistent performances. He will now be eager to continue his impressive run when India face Afghanistan in the Under-19 Asia Cup semi-final on Thursday in Oman.
