He was acquired by Delhi Capitals in the 2024 Indian Premier League auction as a fast bowler. In the 2025 Indian Premier League auction, he was sold to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, winning his maiden IPL title that same season. The following season, he took 19 wickets, as RCB won back-to-back IPL titles.
