Career
editHe made his List A debut for Uttar Pradesh in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 21 September 2018.[3] He made his first-class debut for Uttar Pradesh in the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy on 1 November 2018.[4] He made his Twenty20 debut for Uttar Pradesh in the 2018–19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on 21 February 2019.[5]
In February 2022, he was bought by the Gujarat Titans in the auction for the 2022 Indian Premier League tournament for a whopping 3.2 crores in the auction, which was a considerably higher bid for an uncapped player.[6][7] He made his IPL debut on 13 April 2022, against Rajasthan Royals.[8] However his rise to fame came in a negative limelight as he couldn’t defend 29 runs in the final over the IPL league match against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2023 season with Rinku Singh smacking him for 5 sixes in that over. He had one of worst four-over spells in IPL history in that game, giving away 69 runs, only one run short of the worst spell at that time. He was released by Gujarat Titans after the season.
In 2024 edition, he was picked by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the auction with an even bigger bid of 5 cores. He made a spectacular comeback in this year's edition, scalping 15 wickets from 13 matches with best bowling figures of 3/20 against Delhi Capitals. However, the biggest moment of his IPL career was defending 17 runs against the Chennai Super Kings in the last over which helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru qualify for the playoffs.
By the way, he has got his maiden call-up for Indian team for the Test Series against Bangladesh of 2024 season.[9]
