Cricket: A National Passion

In India, cricket transcends mere sport; it embodies passion, pride, and often becomes a cherished family tradition. The fervor surrounding the game is akin to a religion. This sentiment was palpable during the recent mega auction for the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025, where the spotlight fell on two iconic names, Kohli and Sehwag. Teams made headlines by selecting young players from these illustrious families, stirring excitement across the cricket community.

Aryaveer Kohli Signs with South Delhi Superstarz

Aryaveer Kohli, the nephew of cricket star Virat Kohli, has been acquired by South Delhi Superstarz for ₹1 lakh. At just 15 years old, Aryaveer is a talented leg-spinner, currently training under the guidance of Rajkumar Sharma, who also coached Virat in his formative years. Rajkumar was present at the auction, lending his support to the promising young player.

Although Aryaveer has yet to represent the Delhi state team, participating in the DPL presents a significant opportunity for him. He will be playing under the captaincy of Ayush Badoni, who led the team to the finals last season. This experience will provide Aryaveer with valuable exposure and a solid foundation to enhance his skills.

While the pressure of his surname may weigh on him, it could also mark the beginning of a bright cricketing journey.

Aaryavir Sehwag's Impressive Auction Performance

Another standout during the auction was Aaryavir Sehwag, son of former Indian opener Virender Sehwag. He was signed by Central Delhi Kings for an impressive ₹8 lakh. At 17, Aaryavir has already made a name for himself in junior cricket, notably scoring a remarkable 297 in the Cooch Behar Trophy.

His selection sparked a mini bidding war, showcasing his potential. Meanwhile, his younger brother Vedant Sehwag went unsold. Nevertheless, this auction represents a significant milestone in Aaryavir's burgeoning career.

With both Sehwag and Kohli entering the DPL 2025, fans can look forward to exhilarating performances and a glimpse into the future of Indian cricket. The journey is just beginning, but these young stars are already capturing attention.
