IPL 2019: The Dark Horses in each team

#5 Kolkata Knight Riders- Kamalesh Nagarkoti

Kamalesh Nagarkoti

Kamlesh Nagarkoti was the star of India's success in the 2018 Under-19 world cup and quickly became one of the sought out players in the 2018 IPL auctions along with Prithvi Shaw, Shivam Mavi, and Shubman Gill.

Nagarkoti was eventually picked by the Kolkata Knight Riders for the 2018 auctions for a huge sum of ₹3.2 crores but could not feature him any of matches as he was ruled out of the tournament with a leg injury. But he was retained ahead of this year's auction taking note of his value.

Kamalesh is one among the new age Indian pacers who bowl at a quick pace. He troubled the batsman the U-19 world cup with his raw pace and a good line. Add to that he is also good with the bat and can come handy down the order for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
