R. Vinay Kumar – The 32 years old R. Vinay Kumar made his debut for Indian team at the age of 26 which was quite an unusual thing in Indian cricket then and even now. The Karnataka captain made only 31 ODI appearances and just one test appearance. M.S. Dhoni included him in the playing X1 of the test match against Australia and handed over him his test debut but he disappointed as he was struggling for pace on a pitch which was meant for pacers only. Now, even after consistent performances in domestic cricket, he has not been able to make a comeback in test team.
In the final match of home series against Australia in November 2013, he recorded match figures of 1/102 in a One day match which was obvious reason of him being axed from the national squad. He is still fighting it out for a comeback in Indian team but neither selectors nor the captain is interested in selecting him and it looks like he will end his career playing for Karnataka only.
