Andhra Pradesh skipper Hanuma Vihari is currently the talk of the town in the Indian cricketing fraternity for his sheer determination, perseverance, and determination for the game. The 29-year-old injured his wrist two times in only one ongoing Ranji Trophy quarterfinal against Madhya Pradesh.
Earlier in the first innings, he came there in the middle to bat with the broken wrist in the first innings and smashed two boundaries batting left-handed with one hand. Andrha posted a total of 379 runs in the first innings and bundled up the defending champions MP on the score of 228 runs to take a lead of 151 runs in the first innings.
Later on, in the APβs second innings, the team happened to struggle at the score of 76 runs for the loss of nine wickets and it was the time when the cricket fans witnessed another brave effort from the skipper Vihari. He came to bat with that very broken wrist and smashed a boundary with only one hand.
Do it for the team. Do it for the bunch.
