Nepal's cricket journey has been marked by remarkable moments, but none quite like what unfolded during the 2023 Asian Games. Karan KC, a prominent figure in Nepal's cricketing world, known for his prowess with the bat, found himself at the centre of an unforgettable incident. It was the quarter-final clash between India and Nepal at the ZJUT Cricket Field in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

As Nepal embarked on their innings, Karan KC stepped up to the crease. Little did he know that his trusty bat had developed a subtle crack, a fact that managed to elude him entirely in the heat of the moment. He was focused solely on contributing to his team's cause.

It wasn't until later, when a video of his innings went viral, that the 31-year-old cricketer realized what had transpired. In the video, he could be seen batting confidently, completely unaware of the impending danger. He had given his all for his team.

When the match concluded, and he had notched up a respectable 18 runs off 17 balls, Karan KC finally noticed the cracked bat. Reflecting on the incident, he admitted to being so immersed in the game that he didn't realise his bat had been compromised.
