India’s rookie batsman Hanuma Vihari has revealed the toughest bowler he has faced in his career. Vihari had recently made his debut for the Indian team when he scored a valiant knock of 56 runs in the fifth Test match at Oval against England. In fact, he also scalped three wickets in the second innings of the game.
Meanwhile, Hanuma Vihari could not get his chance in the first Test match against Australia. However, he received his opportunity when Rohit Sharma’s injury opened the doors for him. Vihari made good looking 20 and 28 runs in both the innings of the second Test match at Perth – which India lost by 146 runs. Furthermore, he had scalped two wickets in the first innings whereas he kept a tight lid on the proceedings in the second dig.
Thus, Vihari is an organised player who has a compact technique. On the other hand, Hanuma Vihari was picked by Delhi Capitals for INR 2 crores. He had set his base price at INR 50 Lakhs.
On the other hand, Hanuma Vihari has played 22 matches in the IPL in which he has scored 280 runs. Furthermore, he had made his IPL debut for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Meanwhile, Hanuma Vihari revealed that South Africa’s veteran fast bowler Dale Steyn is the toughest bowler he has faced while talking to Hyderabad Local. Vihari had faced Steyn in 2013 when both players were part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Thus, Vihari must have had a tough time when he would have faced Steyn in the nets.
In fact, Dale Steyn was at his heyday in 2013. However, Steyn was pushed back after his shoulder injury. Meanwhile, Steyn made a solid comeback recently.
On the other hand, Hanuma Vihari looks good to play the third Test match at Melbourne. Vihari has shown the right technique and would like to deliver the goods. The third match will begin from December 26.
