Who is Aryaveer Kohli? Meet Virat Kohli's nephew, who was fetched at a lower price than Sehwag's son in DPL 2025 Auction
At 15, Aryaveer Kohli is trading schoolbooks for the cricket pitch as he prepares for his first Delhi Premier League season. Signed by South Delhi Superstarz for Rs 1 lakh, he arrives under captain Ayush Badoni's leadership with training credits to Rajkumar Sharma, the same mentor behind his uncle's rise. Currently, the leg-spinner faces public scrutiny over a contract far smaller than that of Virender Sehwag's son, though expectations for his future remain high. Kohli family legacy and early training Aryaveer is the son of Vikas Kohli, Virat's elder brother, who oversees the One8 business empire. According to the youngster shares his uncle's formative coach at West Delhi Cricket Academy, mastering wrist spin under Rajkumar Sharma. Aryaveer's choice to bowl rather than bat cements his bid to create a distinct identity of his own, separate from his uncle. His bowling focuses on deceiving batsmen with flight and turn, not power-hitting. Delhi Premier League debut and contract comparison As reported by News X, Aryaveer earned his Rs 1 lakh bid at the DPL 2025 auction on July 6, stepping onto the big stage under Ayush Badoni. He has yet to don the main Delhi team colors, placing fresh eyes on his technique and temperament. Meanwhile, comparisons swirl with Virender Sehwag's son, Aaryavir Sehwag, who fetched Rs 8 lakh for Central Delhi Kings. Fans and experts alike are keen to see if Aryaveer's googly can unsettle batsmen as effectively as his uncle's cover drive dismantles bowling attacks.

"Never knew...": Virat Kohli's captain in last Ranji Trophy appearance, Badoni reacts to stalwart's Test retirement
New Delhi [India], May 12 (ANI): Ayush Badoni, who served as the captain of India's batting maestro Virat Kohli's last Ranji Trophy game, was surprised by the mainstay's decision to retire from Test cricket with the England tour on the horizon. Virat's magnetism attracted thousands of fans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium when he turned up to represent Delhi against Railways in the Ranji Trophy in January this year. Fans turned up in numbers to catch a glimpse of the hometown hero weaving his magic with the bat for Delhi for the first time since 2012. Even though the runs dried up from the 'Chase Master's' bat, it was still a memorable spectacle for the diehard fans. The Delhi skipper struggled to fathom the 36-year-old's decision and wrote on Instagram, 'Never knew it's gonna be your last red ball game (with a heart emoji at the end).' On Monday, Virat penned an emotional message to end his Test journey as India's fourth-highest run-getter in the format. The 36-year-old's revelation comes a couple of days after his long-time compatriot Rohit Sharma confirmed that he had his last dance in the format during India's tour of Australia. Wishes poured in from around the globe to pay tribute to the modern-day legend's career. India's celebrated cricketers, including Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Ravi Shastri, Anil Kumble, and others, congratulated the 36-year-old on his glorious 14-year journey. Virat's departure from red-ball cricket continues the trend of exodus from the Test format in the Indian setup. Before the Indian batting bigwigs, the illustrious frontline off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin called it a day on his international career midway through the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia earlier this year. The Indian stalwart announced his decision with a heartfelt note on Instagram, reflecting on how the Test format has evolved him and taught him lessons he will carry for life. 'It's been 14 years since I first wore the baggy blue in Test cricket. Honestly, I never imagined the journey this format would take me on. It's tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons I'll carry for life. There's something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever,' Kohli wrote on Instagram. In a career that rejigged the demands of the game, Virat's unparalleled contributions saw him rack up 9,230 runs at an average of 46.85, with 30 centuries and 31 fifties. (ANI)

Despite Loss vs PBKS, LSG Batter Ayush Badoni Achieves A Historic Feat
Ayush Badoni once again underlined his growing importance in the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) middle order with a brilliant 74 off just 40 deliveries against Punjab Kings (PBKS). His innings, laced with five boundaries and five sixes, kept LSG in the chase of a daunting 237-run target. However, despite his valiant effort, the team eventually fell short by 37 runs, finishing at 199/7 in Dharamsala. The 25-year-old has now registered the most 50-plus scores for LSG from the No. 5 position or lower, with six such innings to his name. He stands ahead of Nicholas Pooran, who has five, while Deepak Hooda and Marcus Stoinis have two each, and Arshad Khan has one. Badoni's consistency has also propelled him to third on the list of all-time highest run-scorers for LSG. KL Rahul leads the chart with 1,410 runs, followed by Nicholas Pooran with 1,267. Badoni has accumulated 960 runs, just ahead of Marcus Stoinis, who has 952, and Quinton de Kock, who has 901. As LSG continue their push in IPL 2025, Ayush Badoni's performances remain a bright spot. While his latest knock couldn't guide them to victory, his reliability in the middle order is turning into one of the team's biggest strengths. Coming to the match, Abdul Samad and Badoni put up a fight as they put up an 81-run stand, as Lucknow Super Giants suffered a 37-run loss to Punjab Kings by 37 runs due to a top-order failure. With this win, PBKS is in the second spot with seven wins, three losses, and one no result, giving them 15 points. LSG is in seventh spot, with five wins and six losses, giving them 10 won the toss and opted to bat first. A quick cameo of 30 in 14 balls (one four and four sixes) by Josh Inglis and 78-run third wicket stand between Prabhsimran and skipper Shreyas Iyer (45 in 25 balls, with five fours and two sixes) and a 54-run fifth wicket stand between Prabhsimran and Shashank Singh (33* in 15 balls, with four boundaries and a six) took PBKS to 236/5 in their 20 overs. Akash Singh (2/30) and Digvesh Rathi (2/46) were the top wicket-takers for LSG. During the run-chase, LSG sank to 73/5, but an 81-run stand between Ayush Badoni (74 in 40 balls, with five fours and five sixes) and Abdul Samad (45 in 24 balls, with two fours and four sixes) helped LSG fight back, but they were restricted to 199/7 in 20 overs. Arshdeep Singh delivered a brilliant four-over spell, giving 16 runs and taking three wickets. Azmatullah Omarzai took 2/33 in his four overs. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal took one wicket each.
