Trivedi was a fast bowler who didn't have exceptional pace or swing but knew to read the conditions and the situation and bowl accordingly. A clever bowler and an astute reader of the game, he was a key part of the RR side which won the first edition of the IPL.
Trivedi played for the Gujarat team in domestic circuit but changed to Saurashtra following a 1-year ban due to him not reporting a match-fixing agent who approached him. He has picked up 65 wickets from 76 matches for the Royals averaging 29.29 with a good economy rate of 7.58.
