An attacking opening batsman, much like his father, Anirudha made his first-class debut in the 2003–04 season as a 16-year-old. He was in and out of the Tamil Nadu Ranji Trophy squad in the following seasons but has enjoyed greater success in the limited-overs format and topped the number of runs scored for India under-19s against the touring England under-19 side in 2004–05. His record in the Twenty20 format has been impressive, finishing the fourth-highest run-scorer in the inter-state Twenty20 in 2007.
He was married to a model, Arthi Venkatesh.
