IPL 2019: 5 released players we may not see again in IPL

#4 Vinay Kumar

Vinay Kumar struggled for consistency in the past few seasons

One of the most successful medium pacers to have ever played in the Indian domestic cricket, Vinay Kumar struggled to make it big in the international arena. Vinay Kumar so far has played only 31 ODIs, one Test, and nine T20Is for India.

Though he was mighty effective in the early editions of IPL, he has struggled for consistency in the past few IPL campaigns. The 34-year-old Karnataka seamer has picked up 105 wickets in IPL from 105 matches. Vinay has won three IPL titles - one with Kolkata Knight Riders and two with Mumbai Indians.

In his last three IPL campaigns, Vinay Kumar has played only 6 games and went for over 10.5 runs an over. He seemed to have lost his zip in the shortest version of the game and was picked easily by the batsmen. KKR released him on Thursday and his chances of finding a franchise for the next IPL season looks very slim at the moment.

Teams played: Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians.
