He helped each team to the championship and finished the season with 129 runs at an average of 25.80 and 23 wickets at 23.21.

In September 1969 he took 7 for 42 for West Zone against Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy and was selected to open the bowling for India in the First Test against New Zealand later that month.
