Everyone will remember the Sydney Test match played on foreign soil, Australia. Yes, we are talking about the same test in which Hanuma Vihari stood between the Kangaroo team and won and got the match drawn. Recently, star cricketer Hanuma Vihari left the captaincy of the Andhra team some time ago. Now he has revealed the same. In which he said that he would never play for the state again. On Monday, February 26, Hanuma Vihari wrote in a social media post that I had lost self-respect there.

Hanuma Vihari wrote on Instagram that she wants to put forward some pacts through this post. I was the captain in the first game against Bengal, During that game, I shouted at the 17th player, and he complained to his father. In turn, his father asked the association to take action against me.

Although we chased 410 against Bengal, the finalists last year, I was asked to resign from the captaincy without any mistake. I personally never said anything to the player, but the association thought that the player was more important than the guy who put his body on stake last year and batted left-handed, knocked out Andhra 5 times in the last 7 years, and played 16 tests for India.

He further wrote, "I felt embarrassed, but the only reason I continued playing this season was because I respect the game and my team. The sad thing is that the association believes that whatever the players say, they have to be heard, and the players are there because of them. I felt humiliated and embarrassed, but I have not expressed it to date. I have decided that I will never play for Andhra, where I have lost my self-respect. I love the team. I like the way we're growing every season, but the association doesn't want us to grow."
