Early career and Air India
Born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, Bheke started to play football for his school teams before joining the under-19 squad of Mahindra United.[2] Bheke then joined his first professional club, Air India, and played for them from 2011 to 2013.[3] After Air India's relegation from the I-League, Bheke joined Mumbai Tigers. He played for them in small cup competitions before leaving the club.[4]

In January 2014, Bheke returned to the I-League after he signed for Mumbai.[5] He made his debut for the club on 15 January against Mohun Bagan in the Federation Cup. He came on as a substitute for Pappachen Pradeep as Mumbai lost 1–0.[5] He went on to make eight appearances for the club that season and was signed a contract extension which will keep him till next season.[6]
Bheke scored his first professional goal on 7 April 2015 against Bengaluru at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium. His 67th-minute goal put Mumbai in the lead but Robin Singh managed to equalize two minutes before stoppage time to end the game 1–1.[7]
East Bengal
After two seasons with Mumbai, Bheke signed for fellow I-League side, East Bengal.[8] Bheke played his first debut match on 23 January 2016 against arch-rival Mohun Bagan which finished in a 1–1 draw.[9] He played his last match of the season on 10 April in a 3–1 defeat against Bengaluru FC.[10] Bheke left the club on loan for Kerala Blasters in the 2015 Indian Super League. After two loan stints, Bheke returned to East Bengal for the 2016–17 I-League season.[11] Bheke played his first match of the season on 7 January 2017 in a 1–1 draw against Aizawl FC.[12] Bheke played his last match with East Bengal against his former club Mumbai FC, which they came out winning on a big margin of 0–4.[13]

Sports Club, which turned out in a 2–3 victory for Bengaluru.[31] On 22 February 2018, Bengaluru extended his contract for three years which will keep him at the club till 2021.[32][33] Bheke played his first match 2018–19 Indian Super League season on 30 September against the defending champions Chennaiyin, which ended 1–0 to Bengaluru.[34] Bengaluru had a standout campaign, as they qualified for the finals yet again in that season against FC Goa.[35] The match went on deadlock for both sides but the victory was sealed for Bengaluru when Bheke scored the deciding goal in the 117th minute to win the first Indian Super League trophy for Bengaluru.[36] Bheke was named man of the match on the final eve for his solitary goal in the 117 minute.[37][38] Bheke played his first match of the 2019–20 Indian Super League season against NorthEast United FC on 21 October 2019, which ended in a 0–0 draw.[39] He scored his first goal of the season on 22 January 2020 in a 3–0 victory over Odisha.[40] Bengaluru qualified for the knockout stage for the third consecutive time the season with Bheke on side but was defeated by ATK on an aggregate score of 3–2.[41] Bheke started in his first match of the 2020 AFC Cup qualifying play-offs against Maziya on the second leg of the qualifying round, which Bengaluru won 3–2 but lost on penalties after the after aggregate score of 4–4 led to the shoot-out.[42] Bheke played his first match of the 2020–21 Indian Super League season against FC Goa on 22 November 2020 in a 2–2 draw.[43] He scored his first goal of the season against NorthEast United on 12 January 2021, which ended in a 1–1 draw due to the equalizer scored by Bheke.[44] After the 2020–21 ISL campaign, Bheke left Bengaluru after spending four seasons at the club.[45]

On 19 August 2021, Bheke joined Mumbai City on a two-year deal with an option to extend for a further season.[46]

On 22 November, Bheke made his debut for the club in the Indian Super League against Goa, in a resounding 3–0 win.[48][49] He scored his first and the winning goal against Chennaiyin, on 15 December in a 1–0 win.[50][51] On 17 February, he scored his second goal of the season, against Jamshedpur in a 3–2 defeat.[52][53]

He in turn became the first Indian player to score in the competition.[55][56]
