In the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy season, Gowtham picked up two consecutive five-wicket hauls, against Delhi and Assam, helping his team win both the games. In the latter game, he returned his career-best figures of 7/108.[3]
In February 2017, he was bought by the Mumbai Indians team for the 2017 Indian Premier League for 2 crores.[4] He made his List A debut for Karnataka in the 2016–17 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 25 February 2017.[5]
