Cricketer Virender Sehwag’s Son Misses Ferrari By 23 Runs
Imagine if you scored 297 runs in a cricket match and still lost a Ferrari just because you were 23 runs short. You’d feel devastated, right? Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened with Virender Sehwag’s son, Aaryavir Sehwag. Recently, he achieved the massive feat of scoring these many runs, but his father shared on social media that if he had scored 320 runs, he could have received a brand-new Ferrari.
Virender Sehwag’s son misses Ferrari by 23 runs
The super-popular cricket star Virender Sehwag recently shared a post on X. In this post, he mentioned, “Well played @aaryavirsehwag. Missed a Ferrari by 23 runs. But well done, keep the fire alive and may you score many more daddy hundreds and doubles and triples. Khel jaao…”
What happened was that recently, Aaryavir Sehwag was playing in the Bihar Cup for the Delhi team. During this match, he scored an absolutely mind-boggling 297 runs. However, despite scoring almost three hundred runs, he could not reach his father’s record of 319 runs in a 2008 match against South Africa.
Most likely, as mentioned by Sehwag, if his son had managed to score 23 more runs, beating his record, he could have become the proud owner of a brand-new Ferrari. Now, we do not exactly know which Ferrari Virender Sehwag would have given his son for beating his record.
Virender Sehwag was gifted a BMW 7 Series by Sachin Tendulkar
For those who may not know, the cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, who is also a brand ambassador for BMW India, gifted Virender Sehwag a BMW 7 Series back in 2021. Virender Sehwag shared a picture of himself standing behind this luxury sedan and thanked Sachin Tendulkar and BMW India for this gift.
The BMW 730Ld gifted by Sachin to Virender was the flagship model of BMW at the time. It came equipped with a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder diesel engine capable of producing 262 bhp and 620 Nm of torque. This engine was mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Apart from this sedan, Sehwag also owns a Bentley Continental Flying Spur.

Speaking of the cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, the ace batsman recently bought himself a brand-new BMW M340i LCI xDrive Shadow worth Rs 90 lakh. He was seen arriving at the Mumbai airport in his brand-new red-colored sedan.
This sporty sedan is powered by the B58 motor, a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo petrol engine equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system. It makes 368 bhp and 500 Nm of torque. All the power produced by this engine is sent to all four wheels via the xDrive all-wheel-drive system.

Apart from Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, many cricketers own supercars and luxury cars. MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, Surya Kumar Yadav, and a few others are some of the cricketers who own a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG luxury SUV.
Apart from these, Hardik Pandya also owns a Lamborghini Huracan. Shikhar Dhawan owns a BMW M8 Coupe, and Dinesh Karthik and Sachin Tendulkar both own Porsche 911s.
