Broad-shouldered, barrel-chested fast bowler Karan KC has been incisive for Nepal through their brief history as an international cricket team, in a variety of conditions both at home and away, and no other pace bowler has produced more five-wicket hauls in both List A and T20 cricket. His consistency as a wicket-taker has made Nepal far less reliant on their spinners to produce winning results.
However, it is for his batting that he holds folk-hero status in the annals of Nepal cricket: he secured a famous one-wicket victory for them against Canada in the 2018 World Cricket League Division Two in Namibia, coming in at No. 10 and making 42 off 31. It paved the way for the country to secure ODI status a month later. Since then he has produced a number of such big-hitting cameos from lower down the order.
In July 2018, Karan was called up to the ODI squad and debuted against Netherlands in Nepal's first-ever game since they secured ODI status. In June 2022, he picked up his first five-wicket haul in the format, though it came in a loss to Oman in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2.
