Kamran Khan (born 10 March 1991 in[[Ghosi, (Mau District)], Uttar Pradesh, India) is an Indian cricketer who represents the Pune Warriors India in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Having impressed Darren Berry, the Rajasthan director of coaching, in a suburban Twenty20 tournament, Khan was given a contract worth about $24,000 with Rajasthan for the second season of the IPL.[1] He made his T20 debut before having played a first-class match.
The son of a woodcutter, Khan has struggled with poverty. Telling of how he would travel to trials, he 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".[2] Shane Warne, the Rajasthan captain, described Khan as "a young kid, a left-armer, a slinger ... He's a tiny little guy but he bowls 140 km/h plus".[3] The Pune Warriors India joined the IPL for its 2011 season and recruited Khan after two seasons with Rajasthan.[4]
