Who is Aryaveer? The lesser-known Kohli with a Virat connection ready to make a mark in Delhi Premier League 2025
Aryaveer Kohli was one of the biggest attractions in the recently-concluded Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 player auction that took place in the National Capital. At a time when most of his peers have schoolbooks in their front, the 15-year-old Aryaveer has taken a giant leap in cricket with a dream to carve a path of his own. Bought for just ₹ 1 lakh by South Delhi Superstarz, Aryaveer will share the dressing room with Indian Premier League stars Ayush Badoni and Digvesh Rathi, both of whom play for Lucknow Super Giants. While Badoni was retained for ₹ 21 lakh, Rathi was bought as a marquee player for a whopping amount of ₹ 39 lakh. A budding leg-spinner, Aryaveer comes from the famous Kohli household and is the nephew of former India captain and a global superstar Virat. Aryaveer is the son of Virat's elder brother Vikas. Having only played age-level tournaments, Aryaveer plays for his school DPS Vasant Kunj and is yet to play for Delhi in state-level cricket. He is currently training under coach Sarandeep Singh.

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.
