A cricket bat as a sword; One-handed backsweeps and deadly blows; Video
The discussion the other day was about the amazing bravery of the Indian player Hanuma Vihari. Batting with a broken hand, the player previously led his team in Ranji.
In the Ranji match between Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, Vihari, who is also the captain of Andhra, injured his hand. Athush Khan’s delivery resulted in a small cut on the wrist.
With this, the player who returned as a retired Hurt came back to the crease in the tenth inning and finished the inning 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 man, finished the innings.
Vihari also built a partnership of 26 runs on the last wicket. In the end, Vihari got out on 27 runs off 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 entered the field in tenth place, away from the natural position of one down.
The player was attacking the bowler even if he had no 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.
