He had a successful U-19 tour of South Africa in 2008 where he scored 104 and 97 in the tri-series played the vital role of opener in India's U-19 World Cup triumph in Malaysia in 2008, scoring a valuable 58 in the semi-final against a testing New Zealand attack. He made his first-class debut later that year and in between, earned an IPL contract with the Royal Challengers Bangalore though he had only limited opportunities in the first two seasons.
