His first class debut was against Saurashtra on 26th December, 2008. Aravind is a booming Indian fast bowler trying to make his way towards the Indian National side with his consistent performance at the first class level playing a wonderful show in the 2011 IPL season where his team Royal Challengers Bangalore were one of the table toppers.
Sreenath Aravind was capable of taking the ball away from the right-handed batsman which makes him a more lethal bowler. Senior bowlers like Zaheer Khan and Daniel Vettori who have been mighty successful at the international level are helping him to master his skills and grow as a better bowler.
In the 84 Twenty20 matches he played, he managed to pick up 103 wickets with the best figures of 4 for 14 runs against Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2011.
He played once for India in a T20 International in October 2015 against South Africa in Dharamsala, taking 1-44 from 3.4 overs, while he earned an ODI squad call-up in October 2011 for a series against England but didn’t play.
He retired from all forms of cricket in February 2018 after winning the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
