Atri made his first-class debut for Nottinghamshire against West Indies A in 2002, and, batting as an opener, made a score of 98 against bowling that included past and future Test players Marlon Black and Tino Best.^[4] Wisden Cricketers' Almanack reported that "the calm and compact Vikram Atri caught the eye, before he trudged off dejectedly, two shy of a century in his maiden first-class knock".^[5] Atri's innings was characterised as "patient" and "dogged" in another report, which noted, however, nine "graceful" boundaries on the first day alone, when rain curtailed play.^[6] In the event, Atri played only two further first-class matches for Nottinghamshire, both of them in the 2003 County Championship against Middlesex and Kent. In 2003, he made his first-class debut for Loughborough UCCE against Somerset and from 2003 to 2005, he represented Loughborough UCCE in nine first-class matches, the last of which came against Worcestershire.^[7] In his combined total of 12 first-class matches, he scored 548 runs at a batting average of 28.84, with four half centuries, although he never surpassed his 98 on debut. In the field he took 8 catches.

In 2004, Atri made his Minor Counties Championship debut for Lincolnshire against Norfolk. He played for Lincolnshire until 2013.
