Awana made his first-class debut for Delhi against Himachal Pradesh in 2007. He played five games that season and picked up 12 wickets. He impressed in the next season, picking up 28 wickets from 7 matches at an average of 24. He also got two five-wicket hauls and a ten-for that season. He was dropped from the team during the 2010/11 Ranji Trophy as he failed to get enough wickets. However, he had a highly impressive first-class season in 2011/12.
