In his second match of the 1971-72 season, opening and keeping wicket for Karachi Whites, he made 45 and 107 not out.

He continued to play for various Karachi teams and Sindh. He had his best season with the bat in 1980-81, when in nine matches he made 645 runs at an average of 40.31, with two centuries. He made his highest score of 179 for Karachi against Railways, when he put on 418 for the first wicket with Khalid Alvi.
