Maka belonged to the cohort of Indian cricketers active in the domestic circuit during the 1940s and 1950s, a formative period for organised cricket in India following the establishment of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the development of the Ranji Trophy as the premier domestic competition.
As a wicketkeeper, Maka was associated with Indian first-class cricket and earned international selection for India. His Test appearances came in an era when India's wicketkeeping options were rotated among several specialists, with players such as Probir Sen and Madhav Mantri also featuring during the same period.
Although his international career was brief, Maka is recorded among the early post-independence Test cricketers of India. Players from this generation contributed to the consolidation of Indian cricket at a time when the national side was establishing itself in the international arena, with regular tours and home series against England, the West Indies, Pakistan and other Test-playing nations.
