And right after his call-up, he made his Ranji Trophy debut, where he scalped 6 wickets and scored 83 runs in Maharashtra’s second innings.
Digvijay had earlier admitted that he never wanted to be an actor and took up the role in Kai Po Che!, only because he could be a cricketer in it.

He also turned down many offers after the movie came out, to focus on his cricketing career – something that has now paid off with his big signing.
