At his early age, he used to play as an off-spinner but later he turned into himself a batting all-rounder to become a part of the Tamil Nadu team. He made his first-class debut against Vidarbha where he scored 63 runs and took 2 wickets for his team. He had an outstanding Ranji season in 2014-2015 with both bat and ball for which he got selected in the India-A team.
