Wyatt said, she shares a healthy camaraderie with Arjun.
As on quite a few instances, Wyatt has also playfully trolled the youngster.

Wyatt said that, ‘Arjun was short in stature and she approached him for a conversation during a net-session’. It was around a decade ago when the duo met and the 29-year-old remembers bowling to Arjun and was pretty impressed with his prowess.

Wyatt told to cricket.com, ” I first met Sachin and Arjun at Lord’s. Maybe 2009 or 2010 when I was with MCC young cricketers and they were training in the nets. Literally I went to the net and introduced myself saying I am Danni etc. Arjun would have been 10 years old back then, he was so small. I bowled to him that day, he was very good.”

With age he has got faster, and he will knock her head off with bouncers, told the later once, light-heartedly. Further, Wyatt remembers meeting with Sachin, during the women’s T20 World Cup in Australia earlier this year. Moreover, the England cricketer had word of praises for Anjali Tendulkar, Sachin’s spouse.

She said, “Since then whenever I bump into Sachin or Arjun or whenever they come to Lord’s to train, I go to the nets and ask him (Arjun) to bowl with a new ball to me. But he is getting very quick now. He always says I will bounce you and knock your head off so I don’t like him bowling to me anymore. He is getting to dangerous to face.”

“They are a lovely family. Arjun’s mom is also lovely. Recently I bumped into Sachin in Australia during the World Cup.” Wyatt added.
