Vijaykumar Vyshak is an Indian right-arm medium-fast bowler who represents Karnataka in the domestic circuit. Known for his clever variations, deceptive off-cutters, and ability to execute under pressure in the death overs, he rapidly rose through the domestic ranks to earn a maiden call-up to the Indian national team for the T20I series against South Africa in late 2024. Vyshak initially gained national prominence in the Indian Premier League (IPL) when he was signed by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru as an injury replacement during the 2023 season. He made an immediate impact, registering career-best bowling figures of 3/20 on his tournament debut against the Delhi Capitals. Recognizing his highly effective skillset and homegrown talent, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) acquired him for ₹1.80 Crore during the 2025 mega auction. He quickly proved his worth during the 2025 campaign, notably stepping up as an Impact Sub in a high-scoring thriller against the Gujarat Titans to deliver a match-winning spell in the death overs.Heading into the 2026 season, PBKS has retained him as a vital component of their pace battery. Across his 16-match IPL career to date, Vyshak has secured 17 wickets.
