FOR Hanuma Vihari, part of only the Test team, opportunities have been few and far. Having got a chance to cement his place in the middle order, the 28-year-old knows every opportunity counts. Before leaving for the UK for the one-off Test against England, the right-hander played league cricket in Chennai to get into the groove. Excerpts from an interview.
How do you sum up your career so far?
It has been good. I’ve been part of the team for four years now. We have played some amazing series, especially overseas (England and Australia). It has been a privilege to be part of those, it will be remembered for a long time. I hope it will continue for years to come.
Yours has been a stop-start career. As a batter, how challenging is to keep the rhythm going?
It can get challenging. But whatever games I get to play, I try to do my best for the team and contribute as much as I can. You can’t complain when you are playing for India because there is lots of competition.
You take whatever opportunity that comes your way so you try to make that place your own. That is what I was trying to do the last couple of years. Hopefully, going forward, I can cement my place.
