Vriitya Aravind on becoming a Viper

Coming up we hear from one of the Vipers’ new boys, UAE wicketkeeper-batter Vriitya Aravind.

Vriitya was the first player to be picked up at the recent auction and we hear all about his reaction to that, plus plenty more.

Vriitya is no stranger to the DP World ILT20, having been on the books of two franchises already, spending time at both MI Emirates and the Dubai Capitals.

For a 23 year-old, he’s also extremely experienced, having played more than 100 internationals for his country, including captaining the team in two One-Day Internationals at the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe in 2023.

He’s a versatile player too, having batted in seven different positions for his country and he kept wicket for the UAE in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia.
