Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra has said that he would like to believe what Hanuma Vihari has said in his ongoing battle with the Andhra Cricket Association. Recently, Vihari had revealed that he was asked to step down from the captaincy after shouting at an Andhra team member, whose father is a politician.

On the other hand, Andhra Cricket Association has said that the middle-order batsman wanted to leave the state team several times but later changed his mind and resigned from the captaincy himself. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has also given his opinion on this entire matter. In a way, Aakash Chopra has supported Hanuma Vihari.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “At this time mud is being thrown at each other. A round of allegations and counter-allegations is going on from both sides. It is not known what is true and what is false in this. You must trust your player. If a player is saying something then there is truth in his words. Hanuma Vihari is not an ordinary player. Hanuma is the player who batted with one hand when he had a fracture in one of his hands.”

The former opening batsman further said, “His journey has been incredible. He has helped Andhra qualify. He united the team. I have a lot of respect for him, whether it was the Sydney match where he played with a hamstring injury and put his career on the line and then he batted with one hand for Andhra. I would really like to believe what Hanuma Vihari says.”
