Like the other bowlers previously mentioned, he too came in the reckoning on the back of impressive performances for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy. He scalped 47 wickets in his very first Ranji Trophy season which also included a hat-trick raising the eyebrows of the selectors.

Sooner or later, he was always on the verge of a national call-up and it got delayed due to injuries. He made his Test debut against Sri Lanka in 2010 and he took figures of 4/105 and was greatly lauded by the team management and the selectors.

His weakness of not varying the pace overshadowed his strength of bowling fast. Lack of variations and wicket-taking abilities in his bowling paved way for other bowlers and he gradually declined.

In the IPL, he is used to warming the bench in the recent past as he last featured in an IPL match in 2013. He was with Sunrisers Hyderabad until the 10th edition of the IPL. He was unsold in the 2018 IPL auctions and he will need to perform extremely well to find an IPL franchise again.
