#23 Vinay Kumar

Karnataka's right-arm pacer, Vinay Kumar was in the news for his superb performances at the domestic level for his home state. This led to the Kochi Tuskers Kerala buying the medium fast pacer in the 2011 IPL auction. Vinay represented the Kochi Tuskers Kerala in 13 matches.

However, he could not set the stage on fire with his bowling as he managed a tally of just 4 wickets in that IPL season. Of those 4 wickets, 3 came in one match against the Deccan Chargers which show how inconsistent Kumar was with his bowling.

Vinay Kumar then returned to the Royal Challengers Bangalore where he stayed till 2013. Kolkata Knight Riders picked him next before he joined the Mumbai Indians in 2015. The pacer once again joined Kolkata in the year 2018.
