His finest domestic season so far was in 2009-10: capturing 46 wickets, besides mentoring his state's two young fast bowlers, Abhimanyu Mithun and S Aravind, to lead Karnataka to the Ranji final for the first time in 11 years. Struggling to get national recognition despite several consistent performances, he worked on his batting in the hope of making the Indian team as an allrounder. The hard work eventually paid off - a successful start to the IPL won him a spot in the India squad for the World Twenty20 in 2010. He was on the fringes of the India's limited-overs sides since and was the most experienced of the quick bowlers in the side for the home series against West Indies in late 2011. He finally got his chance in Tests for the Australia tour, following injuries to Praveen Kumar and Varun Aaron, and made his debut in that format in Perth. His forgettable Test debut didn't affect his chances of securing a whopping US$1 million contract with Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2012.
