Rajasthan Royals: In the 17-year history of the Indian Premier League, many players dazzled the cricket world with their brilliance. But only a handful of these players could prolong their careers, while others got lost in the pages of history. Today we are going to tell you about one such player, who showed brilliant performance for Rajasthan Royals in the year 2009, but soon his shine faded and he was forgotten.

Rajasthan Royals had searched for a dreaded bowler

Rajasthan Royals coaching director Darren Barry saw a young fast bowler defeating the batsmen with his brilliant bowling in the local T20 tournament in Mumbai. This bowler was none other than Kamran Khan. Barry was very impressed with him and included him in Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2009.

19-year-old Kamran had no experience of first-class cricket and his father worked as a woodcutter in the forests. Not only this, he used to play cricket only with tennis balls. But despite this, Rajasthan expressed confidence in him and Kamran lived up to this trust.

There was a stir in IPL 2009

Kamran Khan took 6 wickets in 5 matches played in IPL 2009. During this time, he troubled big batsmen with his fast pace. He bowled the first super over in IPL history and led his team to victory. Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne was also quite impressed with Kamran's speed. He claimed in the media that Kamran will create a stir with his fast bowling and will become a big star of Team India in the near future. But perhaps his fate had something else in store.

Kamran Khan disappeared from cricket

In the IPL 2010 season, Kamran Khan was accused of chucking and had to sit out of some matches. However, these allegations were proved wrong and in 2011, Pune Warriors India included him in their team. But even there this fast bowler could not get many opportunities. He played a total of nine matches in his IPL career and took nine wickets. Kamran's best performance in IPL is three wickets for 18 runs.

After IPL 2011, he never got a place in this Ranga tournament again. Kamran also tried his hands in domestic cricket, but here too his career could not last long. No one knows the exact answer to where Kamran Khan is today, but it is said that he does farming to feed his family.
