Other than representing Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket, he has also played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). His first wicket in the tournament was that of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star batter Virat Kohli in 2024 in Bengaluru.
That was his only wicket of the season, in which he played thrice. He was bought back by LSG ahead of the IPL 2025 auction for INR 75 lakh. He added two more wickets to his tally in 2025 as LSG finished a disappointing seventh on the points table.
