The current season of Indian Premier League witnessed many great performances, especially, from the youngsters. One of the players who impressed everyone with his speed is Kamlesh Nagarkoti.
The KKR pacer won hearts of the fans and also former cricketers. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly was one of them.
The pacer was bought by KKR for Rs 3.8 Crores in 2018. However, injury forced the youngster to stay away from the game for two seasons. The team, however, backed him and is currently doing well in this season.
Nagarkoti’s coach opened up about his recovery time to Times of India.
“It was Rahul Dravid who asked the BCCI to send Kamlesh to the UK for treatment. Moreover, every time they met while he was recuperating, Dravid used to motivate him, explaining how injuries are a part of a sportspersons’ life and one must learn from that experience and come out stronger,” Nagarkoti’s coach Surendra Rathore told Times of India
“There were no major changes I suggested to him in his bowling. His action was getting a bit misaligned so we got that corrected. His landing foot was slightly across and his non-bowling arm was coming from inside. We worked on those. On alternate days he used to work on his batting as well where I used to set a target for him and gave throwdowns,” Nagarkoti’s coach concluded.
