Panchal made his first cricketing appearance for the Under-15s in the 2003-04 Polly Umrigar Trophy, in which he played for two seasons. He stepped up to the Under-17s team, for whom, in his last fixture of the 2005-06 Vijay Merchant Trophy, he scored a century. The following season, he played in both the limited overs competition and the three-day game.
While he started the 2007-08 season with the Under-19s, he made his List A debut for the senior team in the second half of the season, against Maharashtra in February 2008.
Panchal made his first-class debut in the Ranji Trophy competition the following season, against Saurashtra, in a game which Gujarat won by an innings margin.
In November 2016, Panchal became first player to score a triple century for Gujarat. The following month, he became the first player for Gujarat to score 1,000 runs in a single Ranji Trophy season.
