On 2 October 2011 Indrašis received his second recall to Dinamo Riga, and made his debut in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) on 5 October 2011 in a game against HC Spartak Moscow.[2] However his break came when Ted Nolan selected Indrašis for 2012 World Championship roster.[3] He played the tournament on the first line along with Jānis Sprukts and Miķelis Rēdlihs, scoring 3 goals and 5 points in 7 games.[4]

After the breakthrough in world championships Indrašis signed three-year contract with Dinamo Rīga.[5] At the start of the season Indrašis continued to show his scoring touch, but his production decreased in middle of the season. At this point Indrašis was sent affiliate team.[6] Later he was recalled and spent the rest of the season with Dinamo.

Indrašis went to NHL Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks summer camps in 2012 and 2013 respectively.[7][8]

After two productive seasons with Dynamo Moscow, Indrašis returned to Dinamo Riga by signing a one-year contract on 28 July 2020.[9]
