Hanuma Vihari leaves Andhra Pradesh, now will play in domestic cricket for this team
Indian team Middle order batsman Hanuma Vihari has broken his relationship with Andhra Pradesh. After a long controversy and confusion, he has now decided to start his innings in domestic cricket with the new team. This step of Vihari can prove to be a new twist for his career.
Hanuma Vihari, Indian cricketer and former captain of Andhra Pradesh team, has finally left the state team. Vihari will now be seen playing for Tripura in the upcoming domestic season. He has signed a one -year contract, which can be extended to another year by mutual consent.
According to media reports, Vihari said that the Andhra Pradesh Cricket Association had made him clear that he did not have a place in the team’s T20 schemes. For this reason, he did not participate in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and decided that if the three formats are not available, then it would be better to find a new atmosphere.
He wanted to change the team from the last two seasons. His transfer in 2023-24 was almost certain towards Madhya Pradesh, but he stopped due to political pressure. This time Tripura took the initiative and Vihari accepted it as a new challenge.
The 31 -year -old right -handed batsman’s domestic record is extremely spectacular. Inaugurating his career from Hyderabad, he scored 3,155 runs there at an average of more than 57. Later, while playing for Andhra, his performance was memorable, where he has scored 3,103 runs in 44 matches with 44.97.
Vihari is known for his combative batting. His passion to bat fractured hands during the Ranji Trophy quarter -finals is still fresh in the memories of cricket fans. Now it has to be seen how this new journey with Tripura moves forward.
Let me tell you, Hanuma Vihari has also played 16 Tests for the Indian team, in which he has scored 839 runs at an average of 33.56. Vihari played India’s last Test against England in 2022, but could not get too much opportunities after that.
