What he said after the Selection :

"Going to South Africa and playing in those conditions, especially [since] it was my first tour, I learned a lot from that tour," Vihari told bcci.tv. "I knew what was coming after that. I knew I had to perform a lot in the domestic season again to get back into India A squad because that tour didn't go well for me, especially with the bat.
"I had only one inning - I didn't perform, but I knew I had to perform more in the domestic season to get back into the side and grow in the India A level, because if you have to play for India, you have to score in the A team, there's no other choice.
"So I knew I had to do well again. It helped me a lot in South Africa, especially with Rahul sir. It was the first tour with him, for me, and he gave us advice on that tour, it helped me a lot."
"To be honest, if you see the Indian side, it's tough to get into the side, but once you get into the side you have to make sure that you grab that opportunity," he said. "That's the only thing I'm thinking about. I know that the opportunity will come, but I have to be really ready for the opportunity. Once it comes I really want to grab it and make it my own."

"It's more the situation that matters to me rather than the strike rates I'm batting at," Vihari said. "Sometimes on a good day you'll bat at 60-70 in a four-day game, but sometimes you have to grind for the team, you have to bat at 45-50 as well.
"If you have that mental ability to bat differently at different situations, you're rated as one of the best batsmen, you can score consistently at a higher level as well."

Table Toppers SRH take on rejuvnated Daredevils

Come Saturday night, it's a battle between audacious stroke-makers and astute arm-rollers. When you think of Sunrisers Hyderabad, the first thing that strikes your mind is their bowling. Their mantra - Choke, squeeze, strangle. Repeat. If their defense of 132 was inspiring, their defense of 118 was jaw-dropping. They are one team that proves Twenty20 cricket is not just all about wham-bam action and beautifies the game with thrillers out of nothing. They have not even felt the absence of their main weapon Bhuvneshwar Kumar - the one who troubles batsmen with swing, cutters, yorkers, knuckles and more. In the last three games, Sandeep Sharma, Siddharth Kaul, and Basil Thampi have collective figures of 29.1-0-156-14. An economy rate of 5.36 despite operating in the toughest of times - powerplay and the death overs - speaks volumes of the depth in the team. Add to it a shrewd learner in Rashid Khan, who corrects mistakes quickly. Their batting though...

For the third consecutive time, this season Orange army defends a par total. Thanks to their outstanding bowling performance. TOSS: Sunrisers opt to bat  Hales, Kane give them a good start After losing Shikhar Dhawan early for 6, skipper Kane and English swash-buckling opener Alex Hales steady their ship till the 14th over. There were a few drop catches which affected the Rajasthan as the game progressed. Kane scored an entertaining 63 from 43 balls before he fell to his countrymen Ish Sodhi.Prior to that Karnataka all-rounder, Gowtham dismissed Hales (45) who played an anchor role in their 91 run partnership with Kane. And then started the collapse in the middle order neither of them clicked and as a result, the Men in orange were restricted to 151/7 in their 20 overs. Jofra Archer picked up 3 vital wickets and wrecked the middle order of the orange army.  Bowlers do it yet again:  Chasing 152 on a slower wicket with mighty sunrisers bowling line up wa...
