First Class Cricket
I made my FC debut on September 3, 2007 against Rajasthan in Mumbai. The FC debut match wasn't a bad one for me as I scored 71 in the first inning and 29 in the other, scoring exactly 100 runs in the match. Later I went on to play FC cricket for Mumbai and still represent the side.

For The Nation
In 2008 I was selected in India's U-19 squad for 5 ODs against South Africa U-19s in South Africa. I just warmed up the benches in the series and returned to India without even playing a single match. Was utterly disappointed.
The IPL
(The story assumes that IPL had begun from 2007 and not 2008)
The Mumbai Indians had picked me up for the 2009 season but unfortunately I didn't get to play any matches there as well. Later, in 2010, after some changes done in the catchment area selections for the IPL teams, Pune Warriors India picked me up. It felt great to be selected for a team in the IPL where I had hopes of making it into the playing XI. Even greater was to meet players like Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh. My IPL career so far has been ordinary. I have played just two matches for PWI, replacing Jesse Ryder on both occassions on account of his injuries. My debut IPL match was against Kolkata Knight Riders (April 29, 2010) and I scored just 12 in it.
My IPL stats are,
Batting:
Mat: 2
Inns: 2
NO: 0
Runs: 49
HS: 37 v Kochi Tuskers Kerala at Dr. DY Patil Sports Complex
Average: 24.5
BF: 40
SR: 122.5
30+: 1
100: 0
50: 0
--------------------
After playing FC cricket for quite a lot of time now, my name is finally being considered by the national team selection panel. I may be a part of India's tour to England which is scheduled to start in 3 weeks from now, but it will be pretty difficult for me to make it into the XI in the presence of Sehwag and Gambhir.
