At the state level he has appeared for Mumbai across multiple age brackets: Under-16, Under-19, Under-23, Under-25 and the senior Mumbai side.

He played school cricket in the Harris Shield Tournament for Swami Vivekanand International School and was part of the Mumbai Under-16 team that won the 2019 Vijay Merchant Trophy. In age-group national competitions he featured for Mumbai Under-19 in the 2021 Vinoo Mankad Trophy and scored heavily in limited appearances, including 214 runs in four matches during that season.
