The stockily-built raider started his PKL career with Jaipur Pink Panthers in the inaugural season and scored 137 points, which helped the team win the championship. Post that he suffered a major injury, which kept him out of the next three editions.

Come the fifth season, he joined a new team, Bengal Warriors, and scored 192 points. His scoring prowess only increased in the sixth with 206 points, 205 points in the following season, and 264 in the last one.
