'''Kamran Khan''' (born 10 March 1991 in [[Mau district]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], India)<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.cricketcountry.com/articles/the-likes-of-kamran-khan-zafir-patel-and-javed-khan-owe-it-to-the-ipl-for-their-overnight-success-and-riches-24875 |title=The likes of Kamran Khan, Zafir Patel and Javed Khan owe it to the IPL for their overnight success and riches |date=5 April 2013 |publisher=csirhrdg.res.in}}</ref> is an Indian cricketer who bowls left-arm fast-medium. He played in the Indian Premier League for Rajasthan Royals and later Pune Warriors, and represented Uttar Pradesh and Colts at domestic level. Playing for RR along with KKR's Ajantha Mendis he bowled the first ever super over in the history of the 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.<ref>{{citation |url=http://content.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/391125.html |title=Rajasthan Royals sign unknown pace bowler |date=17 February 2009 |author=Cricinfo staff |publisher=Cricinfo.com |accessdate=18 April 2009}}</ref> He made his T20 debut before having played a [[first-class cricket|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".<ref>{{citation |url=http://content.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/399381.html |title=IPL next stop for Kamran |date=13 April 2009 |author=Cricinfo staff |publisher=Cricinfo.com |accessdate=18 April 2009}}</ref> [[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".<ref>{{citation |url=http://content.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/399360.html |title=Warne backs Kamran, Jadeja and Yusuf to fire |date=13 April 2009 |author=Cricinfo staff |publisher=Cricinfo.com |accessdate=18 April 2009}}</ref> The [[Pune Warriors India]] joined the IPL for its 2011 season and recruited Khan after two seasons with Rajasthan;<ref>{{citation |url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/once-upon-a-time-in-ipl-with-pune-warriors/945973/ |title=Once upon a time in IPL with Pune Warriors |newspaper=The Indian Express |first=Devendra |last=Pandey |date=6 May 2012 |accessdate=7 May 2012}}</ref> however, he only played one match for Pune.<ref>{{citation |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/449/449504/Indian_Premier_League_Matches.html |title=Indian Premier League matches played by Kamran Khan (9) |publisher=CricketArchive |accessdate=21 April 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/ipl-s-one-hit-wonders-where-are-they-now/story-81D2JodVDd6WUTjNWskg3N.html |title=IPL’s one-hit wonders: Where are they now? |work=Hindustan Times |accessdate=25 April 2019}}</ref>
