Pandit had one outstanding match, in the Ranji Trophy in 1986-87. Captaining Jammu and Kashmir against Services, he took 5 for 44 and 8 for 33 with his medium-paced bowling, and scored 158 opening the batting, to lead Jammu and Kashmir to a nine-wicket victory.[1] His 8 for 33 is still the best innings bowling analysis for Jammu and Kashmir, and his 13 for 77 is still the best match analysis.[2][3] In his second-last first-class match a year later, still captaining the team, he scored 30 and 119 to avert defeat in the match against Haryana.[4]

In 2006 he was one of 23 former Jammu and Kashmir players to be included in a pension scheme run by the Board of Control for Cricket in India.[5]
