In 2018, he signed for Chennai City FC in the Indian I-League,[7] where he made one league appearance before joining Real Kashmir.

On 4 March 2022, he made his first appearance in the I-League for the club, against his former club Real Kashmir, in a 1–1 draw.[13] He was awarded the Hero of the Match for his outstanding display against Rajasthan United, on 25 March 2022, in 0–0 stalemate.[14] The club finished in bottom after the phrase-1 and placed in relegation stage, achieved only 12 points and relegated to the 2022–23 I-League 2nd Division.[15][16][17] Later in September, Kenkre was reinstated on sympathetic grounds by the AIFF and allowed to participate in the 2022–23 I-League season.[18] They later went on to participate in Baji Raut Cup in Odisha, in which they reached semi-finals.[19][20]
