India batter Hanuma Vihari was hailed as a fighter on social media after videos of him batting left-handed in Ranji Trophy quarterfinals went viral on Wednesday. Fractured his wrist, Vihari batted with just one-handed trying to save his team in a crunch match against Madhya Pradesh in Indore. In a video, which is now going viral, he can be seen taking on the raw pace of Avesh Khan. Fans hailed his fighting attitude with some citing his previous act doing the same for India. Mainly: SCG where he alongside Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravi Ashwin forged a rear-guard stand. As a result, India drew that match and gave themselves a fighting chance at the Gabba where Rishabh Pant’s heroics tilted the series in India’s favour.
Meanwhile, here are some of the top reactions.
