In the TDCA league, Gautam plays for Aththis CC. In his TDCA debut, he guided Aththis CC to victory by scoring 44 runs off 46 balls. Ever since, he has been on an upward trajectory.

I'm eagerly looking forward to the upcoming season and the chance to make a greater impact,' said Gautam.

'I was fortunate to participate in the final three league games, which provided me with valuable exposure and experience. I'm now looking forward to the upcoming season, to make an even greater impact,' he said.
Recalling his experience of playing three matches for Magnet CC in the fifth division, calling it a 'true test of character,' he said, 'Facing a team renowned for their fierce bowling attack, I managed to hold my ground during a relentless opening spell. Though I couldn't convert it into runs, the experience was invaluable — it challenged my technique and composure like never before.'
