Career

Kaul made his first-class debut for Punjab in the 2007–08 Ranji Trophy season, marking the start of his domestic career by taking a five-wicket haul in that debut match. He was part of the India Under-19 setup and featured in the 2008 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Malaysia, finishing as one of India U-19's joint top wicket-takers in the tournament.

At the domestic level he has represented Punjab and been a regular performer in the Ranji Trophy, finishing among the leading wicket-takers in multiple seasons, including a strong showing in 2012–13 and a six-wicket haul against Uttar Pradesh in 2016–17. His performances in domestic cricket led to opportunities in the Indian Premier League, where he has been part of squads including Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. He gained particular recognition during the 2018 IPL season (IPL 11), a campaign that contributed to his selection in India's squad for the bilateral series against England.
