The youngster first hogged the limelight in 2015 when he scored an unbeaten 319* and took 13/99 in a Giles Shield match, an all-round record in school level cricket, which was honoured by the Limca Book of Records.
The young all-rounder plies his trade for India Under-19s and Mumbai. In October 2019, he shot to prominence as he became the youngest cricketer in the world to score a List A double century.
He essayed a flamboyant 203 runs off 154 balls in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Jharkhand and in the process, he became the youngest double centurion in the history of List A cricket at 17 years, 292 days. His knock included a flurry of 17 fours and 12 sixes.
He was one of the top five run-getters at the 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy tournament, accumulating 564 runs in 6 matches at an average of 112.80. He also earned his place in the India B squad for the 2019–20 Deodhar Trophy. In December 2019, he was listed in India’s squad for the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
