Hanuma Vihari FAILS to Impress

– KS Bharat who was India’s shining light in the warm-up match against Leicestershire was left stranded on the bench.
– Rahul Dravid’s gamble of playing Vihari ahead of KS Bharat proved costly in the end.
When the team needed a firm stand after the dismissals of both the openers, Vihari who should have stepped up, failed to take matter into his hands and squandered his wicket.
