Profile Summary

Coming from a very poor background, Kamran Khan, had to work really hard to play cricket. His father is a woodcutter and the left-arm pacer had to live life the hardest way. Because of his poverty, Khan had only one set of cricket whites, when he ever he wanted to take the field.

Speaking of how he used to go for trails, Khan once said, "Be it Lucknow or Kanpur, I used to sleep at platforms. I used to buy a platform ticket and spend the night there ... I always had monetary problems. I never dared to ask money from my brothers. I had one pair of white clothes for trials".

He is a short guy but he generates good pace and bowls above 140kph at times. He impressed Rajasthan Royals' director of coaching Darren Berry with his bowling and he was offered an IPL contract by the Royals for the second edition of the tournament.

He played a few games for them until 2010 before moving on to Pune Warriors in 2011. During his stint with the Royals, he impressed Shane Warne and was also given the responsibility to bowl the Super Over. He repaid his captain's faith by delivering quality goods as he helped the Royals thump Kolkata Knight Riders in the one-over eliminator.

He was also reported for suspect bowling action during the 2009 IPL as he foxed many batsman with his pace. He also had a slingy action that many could not pick.
