Internet Desk: Kamlesh Nagarkoti probably a superstar in making for India as he bowled 150 Kmph constantly in the ICC U 19 World Cup. He also got three wickets by giving just 18 runs in his 7.1 overs in the Quarter Final match as India outplayed Bangladesh U 19 team by 131 runs.

Cricket was always high on priority for Nagarkoti Son of an Army kid, was first spotted in the cantonment area in Jaipur at the age of 8 and even then he was bowling faster than those bigger to him. When  his coach Surendra Rathore saw him, he wasted no time, taking him at his academy in Jaipur where Nagarkoti excelled in all three aspects – batting, bowling and fielding.

Nagarkoti threw a ball brilliantly to the keeper to get rid of Aminul Islam Biplob as he wanted to get back his strike. His performance was described as the biggest prospect in Indian cricket by the cricket experts. Rathore said, “His action is perfectly supported by his body’s bio mechanics and that helps him bowl constantly at high pace at such a young age.”

Nagarkoti, who is expected to be sought after uncapped pick at the IPL auctions, once again regularly hit the 140 kmph mark beating the batsmen for sheer pace.
