Domestic career
editAfter switching from boxing to cricket at the age of 17, Sran attended trials for Kings XI Punjab but was not selected.

He won the Under-19 leg of Speedster, following which he was sent to Dubai to train at the ICC academy.
He made his debut for Punjab in 2011–12, taking part in T20s and Ranji Trophy. Injuries kept him out of action for a few seasons. In 2014, he attended trials conducted by Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals and was bought by the latter at the 2015 IPL players auction.[8] He played only one match for the Royals that year.[9]
In a Ranji Trophy match in 2015, he took 6/61 and helped his team Punjab win by innings margin against Railways.
In January 2018, he was bought by the Kings XI Punjab in the 2018 IPL auction.[10] In December 2018, he was bought by the Mumbai Indians in the player auction for the 2019 Indian Premier League.[11][12] He was released by the Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2020 IPL auction.[13]
