Cricket bat as a sword; One-handed reverse sweeps and lethal shots; Video
The discussion last day was about the extraordinary courage of the Indian player Hanuma Vihari. Batting with a broken hand, the player led his team from the front in Ranji.
In the Ranji match between Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, Vihari, who is also Andhra’s captain, injured his hand. Athush Khan’s delivery resulted in a small fracture on the wrist.
With this, the player who returned as a retired Hurt came back to the crease in the tenth over and finished the innings with a broken hand. Due to an injury to his left wrist, Vihari could not even hold the bat properly. Due to this reason, Vihari, the tie-hander, finished the innings.
Vihari also built a partnership of 26 runs on the last wicket. In the end, Vihari got out on 27 runs from 57 balls when he was bowled by Saramsh Jain.
The player came out to bat in the second innings of the match as well. Vihari came to the field in the tenth position, away from the natural position of one down.
The player was attacking the bowler even if he did not have one hand. Vihari, who found the score by swinging the bat like a sword with his right hand, also played reverse sweep shots with one hand.
