Personal Life
Karim Janat actually comes from the Kabul region of Afghanistan, and just like all the other Afghan players, he also grew up watching cricket and surrounded by people who always loved cricket, so no wonder he was fond of this sport from a very young age. Though just like Rashid Khan, he might look a little older to you, but he is only 26 years old right now, and it is your first time seeing his name mentioned in the IPL.
Talking about his personal life, well, he’s kinda a chill person off the field who just loves to listen to music and watch movies and things like that. As for his love life, well, we don’t have any information about that because he has kept it super private.
Professional Life And IPL Story
For Afghanistan, Karim has actually been playing international matches (T20Is) since 2016, though he made his Test debut just recently in 2023. Usually, he plays a main bowling role in the team, but don’t forget, just like many all rounder players from the Afghanistan team, he can bat too, and we have seen him do that time and again. Like, in First Class cricket, he 211 not out highest score to his name.
This year, we have so many Afghanistan Players playing in the IPL, but it is Karim’s first time in the IPL, but he hasn’t made his debut playing for the Gujarat Titans yet. Though only half of the tournament is done yet, you can certainly look forward to making his debut this season of the IPL. It will be pretty interesting when he makes his debut, and maybe, he becomes a superstar for his team by winning tight knocks, you know?
