#5 Vinay Kumar - Kolkata Knight Riders
Vinay Kumar was bought for the base price of INR 1 cr by the Knight Riders at the 2018 auctions. It seems a heck of lot money for a guy who has played just 16 matches during the previous 3 seasons in the IPL and has managed just 12 wickets. Vinay leaked 17 runs off the last over to hand an improbable win to the Chennai Superkings in a league game during the 2018 edition. He played just one more match throughout the remaining season for KKR.
Kolkata has some excellent young new ball options in the form of Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Shivam Mavi. KKR also have Prasidh Krishna who was very impressive in his debut season in the IPL. On the other hand, Vinay Kumar is well past his sell date. Kolkata’s team management should release Vinay Kumar and should instead try to bring in an experienced overseas fast bowler as the current pace bowling department is way too short on experience.
