He has played only 3 international matches for the Indian team and has taken a total of 4 wickets.

He has represented Rajasthan Royals (2008–10) and Mumbai Indians (2011–13) in the IPL and took 75 wickets in 63 matches during that period. Ahead of the mega auction this month, Delhi Capitals released their captain Rishabh Pant, while retaining the Indian pair of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. The franchise also showed confidence in Abhishek Porel. They retained the wicket-keeper batsman in the uncapped player slot and also included South African power-hitter Tristan Stubbs in their squad for the upcoming season.
