I wanted to make cricket my career – Vishnu Manchu
Vishnu Manchu said, “When I was a kid I enjoy Kiran More’s spar with Javed Miandad. I really liked the way Kiran More teased him. I always wanted to make cricket as my career. During my engineering first year, I played for the cricket team of Chittoor. I still remember the days when I went to Nellore to play a tourney. I went to a famous Ganesh temple and asked his blessing for my cricket career. Out of eight matches I played, I went out for duck for six times and scored half centuries on the remaining two times. I also represented JNTU in the zonals. After that my dad asked me to take film career seriously and I am in films. When Sanjay Reddy proposed co-ownership I jumped into it immediately. ICL made a lot of difference to the cricket in India. And I am very much glad to be part of this unique league that spots and nurtures new talent.”

Hyderabad Heroes business head Sanjay Reddy said, “Vishnu is a great and honest human being who is very passionate about the game of cricket. He will add a great star value to Hyderabad heroes team and his tremendous fan club would be converted into cricket along with him. We are happy to launch hyderabadheroes.com website where you will get all the information about our team. I am very excited with Vishnu joining our team and he being our brand ambassador.”
