An attacking opening batsman, much like his father Krish Srikkanth, Anirudha made his first-class debut in the 2003-04 season as a 16-year-old.

His record in the Twenty20 format too has been impressive, finishing the fourth-highest run-getter in the inter-state Twenty20 in 2007. That carried him into the list of 30 probables for the ICC World Twenty20 as well as the India Greens squad in the 2007-08 Challenger Trophy. He was later included in the Chennai Super Kings squad in the Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament.

Controversial inclusion in EPT Tournament in Australia
In July 2011, Srikkanth Anirudha found himself at the centre of a controversy after his inclusion in the squad for the Emerging Players tournament in Australia. One of the other four selectors said it was Krishnamachari Srikkanth who had brought up his son's name. Two of the remaining three defended Anirudha's selection and denied allegations the rest of them had succumbed to paternal pressure. His selection, they said, had been talked about in their meetings, where he was looked at as a potential limited-overs candidate based on his IPL and Champions League Twenty20 performances rather than first-class form.

In January 2012, Anirudha Srikkanth married Arthi Venkatesh, an upcoming model in Chennai.
