Founder & Head Coach
Former IPL Cricketer | Former First Class & List A Cricketer | Cricket Australia Level 2 Accredited Coach
With over a decade of playing experience at the elite level, I’ve been fortunate to be a part of First Class and List A teams for Karnataka, one of India’s most competitive states. I represented Karnataka across all junior levels and was fortunate to be selected into the Junior India (Under 17 & Under 19) camps at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. At 19, I was selected for the Emerging India Under 22 Camp, and later signed IPL contracts with Punjab Kings XI & Royal Challengers Bangalore. I was also recently a part of the Randwick Petersham CC (Sydney) 1st Grade team between 2019 – 2023 that won 4 premierships.
I had the privilege of sharing dressing rooms with legends like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, and Muttiah Muralitharan – experiences that shaped both my game and mindset.
