The Netherlands cricket team spinner Aryan Dutt desires to pick Virat Kohli’s wicket in the ongoing World Cup 2023. Dutt will get a chance to do the same when the Dutch team takes on India on Sunday, November 12 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.

“All wickets are important for me, but I would love to dismiss Kohli. I consider that wicket as the best gift in this World Cup,” Dutt was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

Kohli has been in brilliant form in the mega event as he collected 354 runs from six matches at an average of 88.50 with a top score of 103 not out against Bangladesh at the MCA Stadium in Pune. Dutt, on the other hand, has been in stupendous form as he has scalped eight wickets from six matches at an economy rate of 4.96 for the Netherlands.

“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 stated.

Dutt also talked about his team’s upcoming clash against Afghanistan on Friday, November 3 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

“We have plans in place for them. They are a challenging side and we are all committed to our journey towards the semi-finals,” Dutt added.

Talking about the points table, the Netherlands are currently stationed at the eighth spot in the table with four points and a net run rate of -1.27,  kudos to victories in two out of six matches. The Indian team on the other have won all of its matches so far and are placed at the top of the points table with 12 points in its belt. They will be looking to continue their winning momentum in their upcoming games as well.
