Watch: Hanuma Vihari smashes boundary with fractured wrist, swings bat like sword

Hanuma Vihari’s passion for cricket is not unknown to Indian fans who watched him bat with a torn hamstring in the famous Sydney Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2021. This time, the stage might be different, but he showed the same level of commitment while playing for his Ranji Trophy side Andhra Pradesh in the quarter-final game against Madhya Pradesh. The right-handed batter broke his left wrist during the first innings play but came out to bat in both innings for the sake of his team. He switched to batting left-handed to prevent his fractured wrist from getting exposed and contributed a valuable 15 runs to the scoresheet in the second innings. Following the brief yet crucial cameo from the captain, Andhra Pradesh posted 93 runs on the board, having put up a lead of 244 runs.

Hanuma Vihari scored 27 in the first innings when he picked up the unfortunate injury to his arm while trying to dodge a fiery bouncer from Madhya Pradesh pacer Avesh Khan. His efforts helped Andhra Pradesh produce a total of 379 runs in the first innings.
