Vihari was hit by Wade thrice while attempting a sweep shot on day two.
Australia batsman Matthew Wade showed good sportsmanship on the second day of the third Test against India. Wade's sweep shot hit Hanuma Vihari at the short leg and he was down in pain.
Vihari was at the firing line of Wade, who was going for sweep hits against left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja. It was the 75th over of Australia's innings when Vihari got hit on his fingers by the Aussie and India had to call the physio.
While physio returned back to the dressing room after checking on the Indian fielder, Wade gave a fist bump to Vihari. The gesture was appreciated by the viewers.
