Former RCB and team India’s pace bowler Vinay Kumar is the new half of the famers in RCB after Chris Gayle and Ab Devilliers. RCB took X account and wrote, “Formidable cricketer, our third-highest wicket-taker. We’re celebrating Namma Vinay Kumar as we engrave his name on the elite list. – RCB Hall of Fame.”
