Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
class was undeniable.
The biggest praise he could get was from his then SRH teammate, South African superstar Dale Steyn who spoke highly of Vihari’s ability as a batsman. Over the years, he continued to up his game in First-class cricket, and with his average hovering around the 60s, a national call-up was inevitable. Consistent batting struggles for India during their England tour in 2018 meant that Vihari landed a debut mid-series at The Oval and immediately impressed with a gritty fifty that did have its share of luck. Nevertheless, his composure and solidity were lauded. However, with Rohit Sharma also in the race for a middle-order spot and Virat Kohli’s tendency to play five bowlers, Vihari’s spot wasn’t fixed and he soon found himself opening the batting in Australia for the sake of team combination. He didn’t score a lot of runs but blunted the new ball with a lot of grit and Rohit’s injury saw him back to the middle order thereafter.
Vihari’s ability to land fairly workable part-time off-breaks is another quality that works in his favour when the team management sits down to earmark a playing XI. While Kohli is known to play five specialist bowlers, of late he has looked to go with the extra batsman and while playing just four bowlers, Vihari’s skills with the ball are invaluable. Of course, it’s the bat that has done the talking and after an extremely successful tour of West Indies, he seems to have nailed down that middle-order spot. In fact, it’s due to this that Rohit Sharma now finds himself with the task of opening the innings to fit in the XI, a straight reversal of fortunes from the MCG Test in early 2019. Vihari is now part of the Delhi Capitals in the IPL
but remains regarded as a Test match specialist who can at best, be an ODI resource.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A classically correct middle-order batsman, Hanuma Vihari is proof that runs in domestic cricket matters. He made his debut for India at 24, by which time he was averaging nearly 60 in first-class cricket and it was the knowledge of what it takes to score big runs that helped Vihari become a first-choice pick within months of his introduction to Test cricket.
He emerged as the best batsman on both sides during a 2-0 victory over West Indies in 2019, with 289 runs in four innings. At the end of that series, India's captain Virat Kohli said the dressing room always feels calm when they see Vihari batting out in the middle because he was so correct in his approach.
Some of that was hard to see when he made his debut against England at The Oval in 2018. He could have been out for a duck had Stuart Broad decided to use DRS but he didn't and Vihari put that nervy start behind him to compile a half-century in his first Test innings.
He then opened the innings against Australia in Melbourne as a make-shift option, and though he didn't get big runs, he showed staying power. His relative failure as an opener was - rightly - not held against him, and he earned his middle order spot back on India's next Test tour, to the West Indies, where he got into the XI ahead of Rohit Sharma, a move that was surprising at the time but eventually also series-winning.
Vihari began his career with Hyderabad in 2010, but then shifted to neighbouring Andhra in 2016. While he was making consistent runs in domestic cricket each season, his first India A call-up happened only in 2017.
At one point it looked like he might be one of several talented Indian batsmen who would have to make do with great domestic careers. Part of Unmukt Chand's World Cup-winning Under-19 team in 2012, Vihari saw several team-mates gain more prominence in the next few years. Even with India A, success was not immediate, but Vihari was fortunate that his rise coincided with MSK Prasad being the chief of selectors. The former India and Andhra wicketkeeper had had the opportunity to observe Vihari closely, and knew he was quality. Vihari would repay the faith with performances against South Africa A and New Zealand A, and then with the Indian team.
