He debuted for Karnataka in 1994. A year later he later moved to Railways and won 2 Ranji, 3 Irani with them. He also won the Duleep Trophy playing for Central Zone. In 2006–07 he returned to Karnataka to captain them. He was barred by BCCI for the 1st match for failing to inform about coming to his home team.
