Praveen Kumar bids adieu to cricket

Praveen Kumar

Praveen, who made his ODI debut against Pakistan in Jaipur in 2007, is known for his ability to swing the ball in both ways. He established himself as one of the key members of India's potent bowling attack along with Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra.


He played a key role in India's title win in the Commonwealth Bank ODI tri-series in Australia in 2008, which also involved Sri Lanka. He last played for India in March 2012 against South Africa in a T20 match.

Praveen is also India's highest wicket-taker on their disastrous tour to England in 2011, where he took 15 wickets in three Tests, which also included a five-wicket haul (5 for 106) at Lord's Cricket Ground.

The veteran pacer also played for teams like Kings XI Punjab, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Gujarat Lions in the Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament. He took 90 wickets in 119 matches. In 2010, the swing bowler took a hat-trick in the T20 tournament for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Rajasthan Royals.
