Best XI of U19 World Cup winning players who couldn’t play for India
India won the recently concluded U19 World Cup under the captaincy of Yash Dhull.
8. Kamlesh Nagarkoti (2018)
Kamlesh Nagarkoti caught the eye of the Indian cricket fans when he was clicking the 140 km ph mark consistently in the 2018 Under-19 World Cup. He played the tournament alongside Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw. His batting ability alongside his bowling was a thing that India is craving for ages. In addition, he is a gun fielder too.
He made his List A debut for Rajasthan in the 2016-17 Vijay Hazare Trophy. In his second game of that season, he claimed a hat-trick which was the first-ever hat-trick by a Rajasthan bowler in List A cricket. Since then, he has picked 11 wickets in nine List-A games and has scored 131 runs. His short career has seen a lot of injuries.
He was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of the 2018 season when he was playing in the Under-19 World Cup. But due to his injuries, he had to wait for two years to make his IPL debut. He played his first IPL game in 2020 for KKR. He is very young and will get many opportunities going forward in his cricket career. He got picked by DC for INR 1.10 crore in the mega auction.
