Sai Kishore's Career Milestones
Domestic: Debuted in List A cricket on March 12, 2017, with a four-wicket haul in only his second appearance.

IPL: Signed by Chennai Super Kings in 2020 without playing a match. Bought by Gujarat Titans for INR 3 crore ahead of their title-winning 2022 season. Retained via the Right to Match card in the 2025 auction, taking 19 wickets in 15 games.
