From the outset, it was evident that Sanjai had an innate gift, blending aggression with grace, which soon caught the attention at the local cricketing circuits. As a youngster, he dominated with both bat and ball, an allrounder who carried the weight of his team across multiple junior tournaments.
Sanjai's first brush with the professional arena came in his teenage years when he was selected for the Tamil Nadu U-19 team. His impressive performances here, which included a memorable five-wicket haul against a formidable Mumbai side, marked his rise in the cricketing hierarchy. It wasn't long before Sanjai made his List A debut, soon followed by his swashbuckling entry into first-class cricket with Tamil Nadu in 2012.
Over the years, Sanjai has etched his name among cricket's notable performers, with significant accolades in the domestic circuit. Renowned for his right-hand batting flair, he once smashed a rapid century against Karnataka, which remains one of the fastest in the history of the Ranji Trophy finals. His right-arm fast-medium bowling, characterised by cunning variations and deceptive swing, ensured he was often the go-to bowler in crunch situations.
One of the highlights of Sanjai's career was his participation in the Indian Premier League, where he made crucial contributions to his team's triumph in 2019. Sharing a riveting rivalry with Mumbai's ace allrounder, he consistently delivered thrilling performances that kept audiences on edge. Yet, it was perhaps the inter-state series against Kerala that best defined Sanjai's tenacity—a match-saving partnership that led to a miraculous victory and cemented his status as a reliable statesman.
