Aaryavir Sehwag continued his fine form in the competition with another half-century. The Indian opener scored his fourth 50-plus score of the tournament. But it was his celebration that caught everyone's attention.
Aaryavir Sehwag Recreates Virat Kohli’s Celebration
Sehwag reached the milestone against Rizwanullah with a glance towards fine leg for a single. He then celebrated with the ‘bat does the talking’ gesture, reminding fans of Virat Kohli. The celebration was similar to the one often seen from the former India captain. Kohli did the famous celebration after scoring a century against Australia in Perth in December 2018.
Sehwag has previously named Kohli as his idol. The youngster's celebration showed the influence the Indian batting star has had on him. While he looks up to Kohli, Sehwag is slowly making a name for himself with consistent performances.
Aaryavir initially took his time as he came to terms with the pitch and conditions on offer. He was given a rude shock after an inswinging delivery hit him on his forearm. The physios rushed onto the scene and bandaged his hand but he continued to bat on.
That injury seemed to have shifted a gear as Sehwag took the bowlers in style. Aaryavir drove with conviction, often taking his bottom hand off due to his injury. He struck 8 boundaries as he reached his milestone.
