For the first time in the history of the Indian Premier League, an American player is going to participate. The two-times IPL winner Kolkata Knight Riders has signed American pacer Ali Khan who recently featured in the Caribbean Premier League. ## The 29-year-old will replace England's pacer, Harry Gurney, who pulled out of the IPL due to injury and is set to undergo a shoulder injury. ## Your wait for the replacement is now over! 🎉Join us in welcoming the first US National to play in the #Dream11IPL, @IamAlikhan23 😍#KKR #HaiTaiyaar #Dream11IPL https://t.co/cKgNA2k7Rx— KolkataKnightRiders (@KKRiders) September 13, 2020 ## Ali Khan was part of the Trinbago Knight Riders' squad which remained unbeaten en route to their 4th CPL title win. In the tournament, Khan picked up eight wickets from eight matches with an economy rate of 7.43. As per reports, he was on KKR's watchlist last season also but no deal could be worked out. ## A genuine fast bowler, who clicks 140+ speed, came in limelight during the 2018 Global T20 Canada, where he caught the attention of star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who brought the youngster to the CPL.
