Background

He moved to Hyderabad at the age of 13 from Odisha and chose cricket as his profession under the guidance of his coach T Vijay Paul.

He made his debut in first-class cricket in 2004/05 and represented India at the under-19 level as well. Starting from 2004-05 Ranji season, he represented Hyderabad for 11 seasons before switching to Bengal as a guest player.
