Ranji Trophy: With Fractured Wrist Hanuma Vihari Turns Left-Hand Batsman

Hanuma Vihari showed exceptional strength and courage as the Andhra Pradesh star batted with a fractured wrist in the ongoing Ranji Trophy match against reigning champions Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday. Vihari, who suffered a broken wrist after being struck by an Avesh Khan ball, was forced to retire hurt when batting on 16. The nature of Vihari's injury will be found after he was taken for scans.

Andhra Pradesh scored 379 runs after being called into bat, thanks to centuries from Ricky Bhui and Karan Shinde. After captain Vihari was injured, Bhui (149) and Shinde (110) anchored Andhra. Vihari got out on July 27.

Meanwhile, netizens applauded Hanuma Vihari for his courage and determination toward the game.

The man who played a crucial part in India's historic win in Gaba. Showing again what he is capable of. It's disappointing that selectors aren't able to notice his intent and calibre. Hanuma Vihari is a warrior on 22 yards. #RanjiTrophy pic.twitter.com/7gEmhdQKtL

Hanuma vihari's today's gutsy act reminds us of his border gavaskar trophy heroics.

He's got a fractured wrist, but the never give up attitude in him brings him back to fight back. He's batting left handed due to his wrist.

Take a bow, Vihari!#RanjiTrophy pic.twitter.com/KF8llyW3pO

Hanuma Vihari is a champ. Has all the traits of a ‘person I would want in the trenches with me’.
