R Vinay Kumar, the skipper of the Karnataka team, has been an extremely successful bowler in the domestic circuit. Kumar has been the ace bowler for Karnataka for many years now and has consistently delivered for his team.

Overall in the IPL, Kumar has taken 103 wickets playing in 103 matches at an economy of 8.29. He is placed eighth on the list of the all-time highest wicket-takers in the league.

In the upcoming season, Vinay Kumar will represent Kolkata Knight Riders and is slated to lead the pace attack with Mitchell Starc.
