Pawan Kalyan, TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh and many leaders from the opposition came down heavily against the ACA, with the TDP even starting a handle on X in support of Vihari, called #WeStandwithVihari. “I am appalled at the bitter exit of celebrated cricketer Hanuma Vihari from Andhra Cricket due to the ruling party’s political interference. We stand with you, and we’ll ensure justice prevails,” Mr. Naidu said in a post on X. Recalling the 2020 Sydney test where Vihari played a crucial knock along with Ravichandran Ashwin to draw the match, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said on X, “A local YCP politician with no cricket background is more valuable than an Indian cricketer and Andhra Ranji Team Captain to our ACA.
