Kamlesh Nagarkoti

has the ability to bowl at 145 km/hr consistently

Kamlesh Nagarkoti was the Indian team's premier fast bowler in the Under-19 World Cup. He has the ability to bowl at 145 km/hr consistently in a disciplined manner, which was on show in the tournament.

The pacer picked eight wickets in six matches in the competition. He took three wickets in the first match against Australia and scalped two wickets in the quarterfinals against Bangladesh.

He impressed one and all with his disciplined bowling in the semifinals where he gave away just seven runs in five overs. He then picked up two wickets in the final against Australia to finish the tournament on a high.

Nagarkoti, who was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders for a whopping price of Rs 3.2 crore, has been identified by KKR captain Dinesh Karthik as the person who would be leading the team's bowling attack. He is a player for the future and it wouldn't be a surprise if he turns out to be the find of the season.
