Gade Hanuma Vihari (born 13 October 1993) is an Indian international cricketer who has played for the Indian cricket team. He currently plays for Tripura in the Ranji Trophy.
Vihari played for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League in 2013. In one of the league matches against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Hyderabad, Vihari opened the bowling as an off-spinner and removed Chris Gayle for just 1. He also scored an unbeaten 46 in the same match while chasing. Sunrisers went on to win this match through a super-over.
Vihari was responsible for one-third of Hyderabad's total in the innings against Andhra in 2013/14 Ranji Trophy opener at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. He scored 75 in the first innings before being dismissed by CV Stephen, and then scored unbeaten 68 runs.
In October 2017, Vihari scored his first triple century, making 302 not out for Andhra against Odisha in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy.[1] He was the leading run-scorer for Andhra in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy, with 752 runs in six matches.[2]
In October 2018, Vihari was named in India B's squad for the 2018–19 Deodhar Trophy.[3] In December 2018, he was bought by the Delhi Capitals in the player auction for the 2019 Indian Premier League.[4][5] In October 2019, he was named as the captain of India A for the 2019–20 Deodhar Trophy.[6] He was released by the Delhi Capitals ahead of the 2020 IPL auction.[7]
In April 2021, Vihari was signed by Warwickshire County Cricket Club for their 2021 season of the County Championship.[8]
Vihari led Andhra to the knockout stage in the 2022–23 season of the Ranji Trophy. In the quarter-final against Madhya Pradesh, he batted left-handed after injuring his left forearm, returning to bat after his team was reduced to 353/9 after being 328/4 at one stage during their first innings. In their second innings, he batted left-handed for the entirety of his short innings, making 15 runs.[9] Vihari finished with 490 runs at 35 that season. After the first game of the following season, a draw against Bengal, he stepped down as Andhra captain.[10] After a successive quarter-final exit following a loss against the same opponent, Vihari alleged political interference behind his removal of captaincy and vowed to "never play for Andhra" again. The Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) responded saying there were questions around Vihari's captaincy stint in that he "personally verbally abused a specific player during the Bengal Ranji game in front of everyone" and that the "affected player filed an official complaint with the ACA." It also cited "Vihari's status as an India prospect affecting his season-long availability" as the reason for his removal. Vihari ended the season with 522 runs, the second-highest for Andhra after his replacement as captain, Ricky Bhui's tally of 902.[11] Hanuma Vihari Transfers to Tripura (Domestic Cricket, India)[12][AI-retrieved source]
