Profile & Biography
Kishore Kamath is a legspinner and middle-order batsman, who represented Hubli Tigers in the 2015 Karnataka Premier League following strong performances in the KSCA first division league for Malleswaram Gymkhana. His ten scalps in seven matches at an economy of less than six runs an over earned him an invitation to attend the trials organised by Royal Challengers Bangalore in January 2016. A month later, the Mumbai Indians franchise bought him for INR 1.4 crore at the IPL auction, which was 14 times his base price of INR 10 lakhs. During the off season, Kamath lives in Dharwad and trains at the KSCA academy that was inaugurated in 2012 in Hubli under his father Pramod Kamath, who played seven first-class matches for Goa in the 1980s.
