The 21-year-old pacer is well-known for his bowling skills in the Indian domestic cricket. He has a lot of variations in his repertoire and can adapt well to distinct conditions. He was one of the three Indian net bowlers for the recent Test series in South Africa. He was the highest wicket-taker for India U-19 squad in the ICC U-19 World Cup, 2016 where he led the pace attack and picked up 12 wickets. He can bowl at over 140kmph with great precision and has a lot of tricks up his sleeve including off-cutters, leg-cutters, and multiple variations of slower deliveries which are quite useful in T20 matches.

He played one match for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the IPL last season and made a good impression on the RCB captain Virat Kohli. He has a great opportunity with the Delhi Daredevils for this season and is looking forward to capitalizing it to the best of his abilities.
