With a bowling style similar to [[Glenn McGrath]]'s, employment of similar line and length and top-notch seam-bowling brought Salvi up from relative obscurity, as backup seamer for his club, to the national team in less than a year, and several Ranji Trophy appearances for his club. He has great strength for a bowler of his height and a commendable run-up.

He is known as the most educated cricketer of India with a PHD in Astrophysics.<ref name=":0" />
