Karan Sonavale

Karan Sonavale is an Omani cricketer who plays as a right-handed batter and a part-time off-break bowler for the Oman national team. He was born on December 6, 1994, and made his international debut in 2024. 

Sonavale has been part of the Oman national setup since 2024. Domestically, he has represented teams such as the Yalla Shabab Giants and Royal Oman Stallions.
