IPL 2018: 5 youngsters who could win the Emerging Player Award

#3 Kamlesh Nagarkoti

Nagarkoti will feature for the Kolkata Knight Riders

Kamlesh Nagarkoti recently rose to fame after the 'Boys in Blue' clinched the U-19 World Cup title. Nagarkoti was the fastest bowler in the Indian side. He surprised the batsman with his pace and accuracy. The bowler clicked over 147 kph on a few occasions. His yorkers were nearly unplayable for most batsmen.

The Rajasthan-based bowler was procured by the Kolkata Knight Riders earlier in the auction. On a quick Eden Gardens track, Nagarkoti will be crucial to KKR's chances of winning. Alongside the likes of Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, the 18-year-old will have a lot to learn.

Nagarkoti will be hoping for enough chances to prove himself. He will be another contender for the award.
