Kumar scalped eight wickets in total to display how indispensable he is to the Indian side in all format. Due to his efforts, he walked away with the man of the series award.
“It’s all about how you prepare yourselfbefore every series. IPL has made Indian bowlers thinking bowlers. It’s important not to give away too many runs in the powerplay.
