RCB Unbox Event: Vinay Kumar Honored with RCB Hall of Fame Induction

The 40-year-old Vinay played for the RCB team for five seasons between the 2008 and 2013 IPL seasons. During his playing career, he represented Team India in 41 international matches.

On March 19, in front of a crowded M. Chinnaswamy audience, Kumar was given permission by the RCB management to pose with players like WPL 2024 champion Smriti Mandhana, experienced captain Virat Kohli, and Faf du Plessis.

RCB honored former Indian fast bowler Vinay Kumar for his services to the team during his playing career.

The Karnataka speedster, who participated in 70 IPL matches for RCB over five seasons, was inducted to the group’s “Hall of Fame” as the first Indian player and third overall, behind former cricket players AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle.
