This bowler had bowled the first super over of IPL, where is this player today?

Indian Premier League i.e. IPL was started in 2008. The league's first Super Over was played in 2009. The first Super Over of IPL was played between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders. Then Rajasthan captain Shane Warne surprised everyone by handing the ball to young Kamran Khan in the Super Over. Actually, at that time Rajasthan team had India's Munaf Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, England's Dimitri Mascarenhas and captain Shane Warne himself, but they handed over the responsibility of bowling in the Super Over to young Kamran.

Kamran Khan bowled the first super over of IPL

18 year old Kamran Khan had world greats like Brendon McCullum and Chris Gayle in the Super Over. In such a situation, Warne surprised everyone with his decision. The way Kamran bowled in this match, it was natural for the captain to trust him. The left-arm fast bowler took three wickets for just 18 runs in four overs in the match. Kamran had dismissed Sourav Ganguly, Laxmi Ratan Shukla and Sanjay Bangar in this match.

Talking about Super Over, a total of 15 runs were scored in Kamran's over. Chris Gayle hit three fours on this. In such a situation, Rajasthan had to score 16 runs in 6 balls to win. This time too Warne had faith in this young player. Warne sent young Yusuf Pathan to open. Pathan also did not disappoint the captain and led his team to a memorable victory.

Where is Kamran Khan now?

For Kamran Khan, who comes from a poor family, playing in IPL was like a dream come true. Kamran earned his name all over the world by dismissing big players in his first season. However, after this this player disappeared. No one knows why Kamran stayed away from IPL.

Kamran was once called the next superstar of Indian cricket. After some time this player started living a life of anonymity. Kamran could play only 9 matches in IPL. Although Kamran's action was questioned, it was approved. After this he played for Pune Warriors India. However, Kamran played his last match in IPL in 2011. Since then he is away from IPL. It is not known why Kamran stayed away from IPL, but he is not playing in any league at present.
