KAMLESH NAGARKOTI (KKR)

India’s 2018 U19 World Cup winner Kamlesh Nagarkoti was the toast of the nation after he secured a Rs 3.2 crore deal with Kolkata Knight Riders for the IPL 2018 season. He, along with Shivam Mavi, was the main reason for India’s triumphant journey, as Nagarkoti picked 9 wickets in 6 matches.

Unfortunately, Nagarkoti suffered a stress fracture in his back and missed out on both IPL 2018 and 2019 seasons. However, the KKR team management kept their faith in the Uttar Pradesh bowler by retaining him for consecutive seasons and now he has attained full fitness and raring to go and repay the trust shown by his franchise.

He got help from KKR mentor Abhishek Nayar in Mumbai and regained his pace as well and all eyes will be on Nagarkoti, who will be looking forward to playing with the likes of Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson, and other bowlers in the franchise.
