In February 2021, Kumar announced his retirement from all forms of the game.

1984

Ranganath Vinay Kumar (born 12 February 1984) is a former cricketer who has represented India at Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 levels.

He is a right-arm medium fast bowler who played domestic cricket for Karnataka and also in the Indian Premier League for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Vinay Kumar was born in Davangere, Karnataka, on 12 February 1984.

He attended a government school in Davangere before graduating from the A.R.G. Arts and Commerce College with a Bachelor of Commerce degree.

2004

Vinay Kumar was selected for Karnataka's Ranji Trophy team in the 2004–05 season and made his debut against Bengal.

2007

He was the Ranji Trophy's second-highest wicket-taker in the 2007–08 season, with 40 at an average of 18.52.

2008

He was signed by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for the inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008.

He is affectionately called "The Davangere Express".

He is often regarded as the fastest off-spinner in the world to open the bowling for any team.

2009

He was the highest wicket taker in the 2009–2010 domestic season.

2010

In IPL 2010, he took 16 wickets, the highest among all pace bowlers in the tournament, leading to his selection to play for India in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 in the West Indies.

He played in one match in the tournament, taking two wickets for 30 runs from four overs in India's five-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka.

In May 2010, after India's elimination from the ICC World Twenty20, Vinay Kumar made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in Harare, taking 2/51 off eight overs in a six-wicket defeat.

He injured his knee before India's next fixture, and was replaced in their squad by Abhimanyu Mithun.

Vinay Kumar returned to the Indian team in October 2010, playing in one ODI of India's three-match series against Australia and taking 0/71 off nine overs.

On the other hand, The Indian Express noted about Vinay Kumar's performances in his breakthrough 2010 IPL season: "He doesn’t bowl too fast nor too slow, and he doesn’t have threatening in-swingers or the deliveries that shape away from right-handers. But if there is one art that Vinay Kumar has mastered, it is the all-important one of picking up wickets."

2011

In 2011, Vinay Kumar joined Kochi Tuskers Kerala for the franchise's first and only season in the IPL, having been bought for US$475,000 in the pre-season auction.

He also returned to the Indian team, being selected in the limited overs squads for tours of the West Indies and England.

He played in the dead rubber fifth match of the ODI series against the West Indies, taking one for 46 from nine overs.

He then played in three ODIs in England, taking two wickets.

Later in 2011 he played in four ODIs in India against each of England and the West Indies.

In December, at the age of 27, he was called into India's Test squad for the first time as a replacement for the injured Varun Aaron for the 2011–12 tour of Australia.

He made his Test debut in the third of the four-match series in Perth.

His opportunity came as India chose to take four pace bowlers into the match, which caused him to be selected ahead of spinner R Ashwin.

He took one wicket (that of Michael Hussey) for 73 runs in Australia's first and only innings of the match.

He was left out of India's team for the fourth and final Test of the series in Adelaide, Ashwin returning to the team in his place.

2012

He also played in the T20 match between Australia and India on 3 February 2012.

His lack of pace in his Test debut against Australia in January 2012—bowling at 120 kilometres per hour in his opening spell—was criticised by former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram as "disappointing".

2013

He captained Karnataka to two consecutive Ranji Trophy titles in 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons.

With India, he was a member of the team that won the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.

Vinay Kumar married Richa Singh on 29 November 2013.

Vinay Kumar and Richa Singh had a baby girl on 23 June 2022.

2014

In IPL 2014, he played for Kolkata Knight Riders who traded him to Mumbai Indians before the 2015 season.

2018

In November 2018, he played in his 100th match in the Ranji Trophy.

In the 2018 IPL Auction, he was sold to the Kolkata Knight Riders for 1 crore.

Cricketing website ESPNcricinfo compares Vinay Kumar's style of bowling to that of Venkatesh Prasad, saying that he relies "more on outswingers, legcutters and accuracy, than on outright pace".

In the IPL 2018, Vinay got heavily trolled in social media after he told the trollers to "Chill".

2019

In August 2019, he moved from Karnataka to Puducherry, ahead of the 2019–20 Ranji Trophy season.
