The man who led Karnataka to unprecedented heights had a disastrous end to his international career for India. Kumar conceded 102 runs in 9 overs in the 7th and final ODI against Australia in Bangalore and that remains his last match in Indian colours.

India scored 383 thanks to the humongous efforts of Rohit Sharma who hit a double hundred in that game. But Australia did give India some scares as they went berserk and were hitting boundaries at will.

Kumar bore the brunt for bowling too short and he was brutally ‘manhandled’ by the likes of Glenn Maxwell, Shane Watson and James Faulkner. Though he got rid of Maxwell, yet it didn’t do any good to his figures as he finished with 9-0-102-1. India, however, won the game to clinch the series 3-2.

That was the last time Kumar played for India.
