He was the second-highest run-getter of the 2012-13 Ranji Trophy. He was a significant contributor to his team’s success that season. Promoted to No. 4 position, he made a total of 943 runs at an average of 117.87, the highest season-tally in Ranji Trophy history by a wicketkeeper. He scored an unbeaten 130 in a high-scoring first-innings shootout against Tamil Nadu followed by a two-hour unbeaten 26 to deny Uttar Pradesh an outright win. He then made a second innings 71 to help beat Delhi after having conceded the first-innings lead, before scoring 250-plus scores against both Vidarbha and Maharashtra. He also had 34 dismissals to his name in 2012-13 Ranji season. He was rewarded by the national selectors with a place in the India A squad for the warm-up match against the touring Australian team in February 2013.
