Hanuma Vihari batted for 40 minutes in the first innings played on his county debut. This much time is enough to score a few runs.
When all the cricketers of Team India are busy playing IPL 2021 here, Hanuma Vihari is busy preparing for the World Test Championship on the ground of England. After the end of IPL 2021, Team India has to play the final of the World Test Championship, where they will face New Zealand. Away from the IPL, Team India’s Test player Hanuma is practicing the same by joining county cricket in England. Hanuma Vihari has made his debut for Warwickshire in the County Championship.
The amazing thing is that Hanuma Vihari remained in the headlines for two consecutive days in the match played on the county debut. On the first day, he came into the eye due to his tremendous fielding, on the second day, on the contrary, his batting which was no less than a horror film.
Not a single run was scored even after playing 40 minutes
Hanuma Vihari batted for 40 minutes in the first innings played on his county debut. This much time is enough to score a few runs. Many batsmen also rob the fair during this time. However, Hanuma Vihari himself got robbed. He played 22 balls in consecutive ducks, meaning no runs scored on him. And when he wanted to score runs on the 23rd ball, he was caught.
Stuart Broad was helpless
Hanuma Vihari went on to play first down for Warwickshire against Nottinghamshire. But, he could not even touch the ball. He found it difficult to stay ahead of Stuart Broad, the star bowler of England’s national team. The result, when he tried to hit a ball, was caught by Haseeb Hameed and with that his terrible innings came to an end.
Skip the bat, even performance with the ball is useless
Hanuma Vihari, in county cricket, is playing to improve the preparations for the World Test Championship, which has not started well. Even before bowling, he gave away 11 runs in 1 over. Warwickshire’s first innings against Nottinghamshire ended at 273 runs.
