Kedar was last seen in the Indian jersey during India’s tour of New Zealand in an ODI in 2020 in Auckland. The Maharashtra middle-order batsman was also a part of the India team that lost the semi-final against New Zealand.

In the Indian Premier League, Kedar played between 2010 and 2023 representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Chennai Super Kings, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, and Surisers Hyderabad after having a stint with Delhi Capitals. Having played 95 games, he mustered 1208 runs with the help of four 50s in the IPL. Moreover, Kedar contributed significantly to the CSK’s title run in 2018.
