**Headline: Sehwag’s Son Aaryavir Picks Gill, Then Kohli, Over Dhoni and Rohit; Virender Backs India for Asia Cup Glory**

**New Delhi:** Aaryavir Sehwag, the 17-year-old son of cricketing legend Virender Sehwag, has sparked discussion among cricket fans after revealing his preferred cricketers in a recent interview. The young player, currently part of the Central Delhi Kings in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 after being bought for Rs 8 Lakhs, initially chose current Test skipper Shubman Gill over icons like MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. However, in a final showdown, Aaryavir ultimately sided with Virat Kohli as his ultimate pick. The interaction happened during a recent chat with InsideSport.

Meanwhile, Virender Sehwag himself has voiced his confidence in the Indian team’s chances at the upcoming Asia Cup. Sehwag, backing Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy, believes the team has the potential to dominate the tournament, set to be held in the UAE from September 9 to 28.

“This Indian team has the right mix of youth and experience, and under Surya’s fearless leadership, they can dominate Asia once again,” Sehwag stated. “His attacking mindset suits the T20 format perfectly, and if the team plays with the same intent, I have no doubt India can lift the trophy.”

Sehwag was speaking as part of broadcaster Sony Sports Network’s ‘RagRagMeinBharat’ campaign for the tournament. India, who won the inaugural T20 edition of the Asia Cup in 2016, are placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, Oman, and the UAE. Shubman Gill will be Suryakumar’s deputy for the 15-member Indian squad in the Asia Cup

All matches will be held across venues in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
