Kamlesh Nagarkoti

Kamlesh Lachham Nagarkoti, born on December 28, 1999, in Barmer, Rajasthan, is a right-arm fast bowler known for consistently clocking speeds exceeding 140 kph. Standing at 5 feet 8 inches, he is also recognized for his athleticism and sharp fielding skills.

Nagarkoti made his List A debut for Rajasthan in the 2016–17 Vijay Hazare Trophy on February 26, 2017. Two days later, he achieved the first hat-trick for Rajasthan in List A cricket during a match against Gujarat. His performances in youth Tests against England Under-19s, where he took 14 wickets in two matches, earned him a spot in India's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.

In the 2018 IPL auction, Nagarkoti was acquired by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for ₹3.2 crores. However, injuries delayed his debut until the 2020 season. He made his IPL debut on September 26, 2020, against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. In February 2022, he was bought by the Delhi Capitals for ₹1.10 crores.

Nagarkoti made his first-class debut for Rajasthan in the 2021–22 Ranji Trophy on February 24, 2022. He was ruled out of the IPL 2023 due to a lower-back stress fracture and was subsequently released by the Delhi Capitals ahead of the IPL 2024 auction.
