Hanuma Vihari was the talk of the cricketing fraternity over the past few days when he battled a Grade 2 hamstring tear for three and a half hours to take Team India to a hard fought draw along side Ravichandran Ashwin in Sydney.

Vihari batted for 161 deliveries and remained unbeaten in the end, most of it while he couldn't even run. His story of bravery has made him a hero and the fact that he would not be able to play the fourth and final Test just 4 days later would have been celebrated in Australia.

Now that his job in Australia was done, he has left the country to come back to India. He shared a picture of himself sitting at the airport waiting for his flight back home.

He captioned it, "Until next time"

The official Twitter handle of the BCCI also posted the same picture less than 2 hours later with the caption, "He was battling pain and discomfort but never let his resolve deter even momentarily on the momentous Day 5 in the SCG Test. Today, he heads back to India. Wish you a speedy recovery @Hanumavihari #TeamIndia"

He will be well prepped to begin his recovery and hopefully get ready to face England in Indian conditions.
