'The best way to get into groove for the series would be to play in county cricket'

Away in England playing for Warwickshire since a month, Vihari, who is from Kowkur of Secunderabad, has been sharing the requests he gets, and in several instances, has managed to help the needy

Vihari was signed up by Warwickshire as cover for Pieter Malan after the South African faced difficulties in obtaining a visa due to travel restrictions.

It is sad that he has been labelled as a Test player. Few know that Vihari, who has played in 12 Tests, is a delightful stroke player and also can contribute to the team with his off spin.

The former Hyderabad middle-order batsman said that he has recovered from his hamstring injury which he suffered while taking a sharp single in the second innings of the Sydney Test.

This young team with confidence, character and camaraderie augurs well for the future of Indian cricket

Coach Sridhar says it needed a lot of self-belief and character to script a fairytale story in Australia.

Beating Australia in consecutive series is a great feat. This series win is even more special than the last one because of the many challenges and the hardships that we went through during the five month say in Australia.

For Vihari, it was one of the monumental innings. He survived 161 balls for just 23 runs and Ashwin, who had treatment on his ribs, making 39.

Therefore, I’m eagerly waiting for the Australian Test series,’’ said Vihari, who has since flown to Dubai along with Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravi Shastri and other Indian coaching staff. They are on a six-day quarantine period.
