Ranji Trophy 2017-18: 5 upcoming stars who can make it to the Indian team

#4 Hanuma Vihari, Andhra

Hanuma Vihari was made the captain of the Andhra side this season and even hit a triple century

752 runs at 94.00 in 6 matches

The captain of the Andhra side, Hanuma Vihari led from the front by compiling massive runs, ending the season as the fourth-highest run-getter and by far the highest run-getter from his team. It was only last year that he switched from Hyderabad to Andhra, and seeing his potential, captaincy arrived for the 2017-18 season.

Pre-season scores of 59* in a one-day game for India Under-23 against an Afghanistan Emerging side and 105 for India Blue in the Duleep Trophy signalled his intent early.

And in just the second Ranji match, Vihari, 24, struck 150 against Baroda, who had Irfan Pathan and an in-form Swapnil Singh in their bowling line-up. In just the next game, he bashed 302* against Odisha, his maiden first-class triple century. He ended with two hundreds and three half-centuries as Andhra exited in the group stages.
