In November 2017, he scored his maiden century in first-class cricket against Tripura in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy.[6] In July 2018, he was named in the squad for India Green for the 2018–19 Duleep Trophy.[7] He was the leading run-scorer for Baroda in the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy, with 595 runs in eight matches.[8]

He led Baroda to the semi-finals of the 2020-21 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, hitting an unbeaten 71 off 46 balls in a must-win match against Haryana, clubbing 6, 4 and 6 off the last three balls to ensure victory.[9]
