Karim Janat is also a part of the Afghanistan line-up, but he didn't do much well for the team. Now fans are wondering what he was actually doing over there.
Taste of Own Medicine
@mufaddal_vohra Afghanistan have finally got the taste of their own medicine on how it feels to get defeated by low-ranked teams. Even England was on the brink of losing that game in World Cup. Well Played, Nepal. Redemption for Nepal! https://t.co/qZk06tKW59
