Hanuma Vihari, who is out of the team, told the pain! He said, ‘No one even asked…’
India started the new season of World Test Championship with the first Test match against West Indies. Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal got their debut in the very first match of WTC 2023-25. Some young players may still make their debut in the coming period. But India’s veteran batting all-rounder Hanuma Vihari has been out of the squad for quite some time now. Vihari expressed his displeasure in a recent interview against this background.
Hanuma Vihari was a key player for the Indian team in the first season of the World Test Championship (WTC). But he got no chances in WTC 2021-23. He was dropped from the squad for the home Test series against New Zealand. But when India hosted Sri Lanka in the upcoming series, he was reinstated in the squad. He played two Tests at home and the only Test against England. However, he left the team after that and has yet to make a comeback. It is highly unlikely that WTC will retain him for the 2023-25 season as well.
Even Vihari himself was shocked by the manner in which he was suddenly dropped from the team. But now he has recovered from it. Hanuma Vihari in a recent interview said that he is upset about being left out of the Indian Test team. He said, “I couldn’t find any reason to drop me from the team. This is the only thing that was bothering me. Nobody actually approached me and said why I was dropped from the team.”
As Vihari said, he has now learned to be calm about team selection over the selection process. “It took some time,” Vihari said. But I’ve seen the ups and downs and now it doesn’t bother or worry me. I have now put my personal point aside and do not take these things too seriously. It doesn’t matter now whether he is in the Indian team or not. There are other matches to win and this is about winning trophies.” (Hanuma Vihari said that the reason for exclusion from the Indian team is still not understood)
