Netherlands’ Aryan Dutt passionate to take star India player’s wicket during ODI World Cup 2023

Netherlands’ spinner Aryan Dutt has expressed his desire to take the wicket of former India skipper Virat Kohli. India and the Netherlands will play the last game of the league stage of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. Given the way this tournament is going and how it is predicted to happen, the top four might be decided before this game.

Notably, both teams are playing each other after the 2011 World Cup. None of the players from both teams that played 12 years back are playing the game. Players from the current team will play each other for the first time. Meanwhile, with more than 10 days left in the game, the Dutch spinner Dutt has said that he wants to take the wicket of Kohli.

“All wickets are important for me, but I would love to dismiss Kohli,” Aryan Dutt said. “I consider that wicket as the best gift in this World Cup. I don’t compare myself to Deepak Patel, but I am enjoying bowling on Indian pitches. They can be different, providing a unique feel and aiding spinners who rely on variations.”

“I believe in my strengths and don’t worry much about the batters facing me. My focus is on consistently hitting the right lengths and using my speed and turn to outfox the batsmen,” he added.

MS Dhoni has been a guiding force: Aryan Dutt

The Hoshiarpur heritage player further added that India’s 2011 World Cup win inspired him to take the sport and MS Dhoni has been his guiding force.

“It inspired me to take up the sport, and I never imagined I’d play in a World Cup. Dhoni has been a guiding force, and I’ve always admired Team India and its players,” Aryan Dutt said.
