In the first four games of the season, Kumar picked three wickets at an economy rate of 6.98. His injury will take a toll on team’s performance. The pacer’s injuries have been an issue since couple of years now. In IPL 2018, he missed five of 17 games and in same year during England tour he missed one T20I and two ODI matches.
Even in the 2019 World Cup he missed matches against Afghanistan, West Indies and England owing to hamstring injury. The IPL was his best shot to prove his fitness levels, but things look tricky for the pacer.
