In a match in Karnataka Cricket State Association (KSCA) Women’s League in January 2020, she took 6 wickets for 4 runs for Rajajinagar Cricketers against Swastik Union Cricket Club. She finished the 2022-23 BCCI’s Senior Women ODI Tournament as the second-highest wicket-taker with 20 wickets. 



Her father ran a cricket academy and she would go there on the weekends to play but she didn't get to play in the nets. Her dad now runs a sports store. She played a lot of hanging ball and fell in love with the sport.
