His batting average was above 55 in his first two first-class seasons. Sandeep was the leading run-scorer for Hyderabad in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy. 
Sandeep was primarily a red-ball cricketer since he started playing professional cricket; However, given the increasing popularity of T20 cricket, he also improved his white-ball game. He was the leading run-scorer for Hyderabad during the 2019/20 Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 competition.
In November 2018, Sandeep reached the milestone of 3000 runs in his first-class cricket career. Ever since the IPL started in 2008, Sandeep had dreamed of being a part of the tournament. Finally, his dream came true in December 2019 when Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him at his base price of Rs 20 lakh. After representing Hyderabad in the domestic circuit for almost a decade, Sandeep decided to play for Goa as a guest player in the upcoming domestic season. Reportedly, the reason behind the move to Goa was the politics of Hyderabad Cricket Association, which was also cited by many Hyderabad players including Ambati Rayudu.
