India Under-19 opener Aaryavir Sehwag missed out on his maiden fifty by just three runs, being run out for 47 against Australia Under-19 in the second Youth ODI in Rajkot on Monday.
Aaryavir’s knock was studded with nine fours.
Earlier, Australia Under-19 fell seven runs short in its chase of 183 after rain reduced the match to 20 overs, handing India a 1-0 series lead.
Aaryavir, who opened the innings in both games much like his father Virender Sehwag, was dismissed for 28 off 26 balls, with five fours, in the first ODI.
True to his father’s flamboyant style, Aaryavir got off the mark with a four off the first ball in both matches.
Also in action was Anvay, son of former India cricketer and head coach Rahul Dravid.
Batting at No. 6, Anvay smashed 38 off 18 balls, hitting two fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 211.11.
