In many respects, Praveen Kumar's professional cricket career came to an end in 2017. The right-arm medium pacer, who was renowned for his ability to create "magic" with the ball, played his final first-class and List A matches for Uttar Pradesh in addition to his final IPL match for the Gujarat Lions that year. January 2018 marked the end of his T20 career. In 2012, the Indian team's doors had already closed for good. With the exception of a few infrequent appearances in the media, Legends League Cricket, and a T10 competition, PK, as he was affectionately referred to in the industry, has mostly avoided the spotlight. It's a little difficult to believe for a bowler of his caliber.
