He has won the Supercup and represented his country in the national youth teams.
Basiladze is a product of the academy of Torpedo Kutaisi. He played in youth teams before making his debut for the senior team as a second-half substitute in a 1–0 loss to Telavi on 20 May 2023.[1] Basiladze opened his goal-scoring account on 11 April 2024 when he sealed a 3–1 win over Samgurali.[2]
Basiladze lifted the first trophy of his career on 3 July 2024 with Torpedo winning the four-team Georgian Super Cup tournament.[3] Shortly, his existing contract with the club was extended up until December 2027.[4]
During the 2025 season, Basiladze firmly established himself as a first-choice player and displayed his individual qualities, scoring six times, including a hat-trick against Samgurali.[5] He made his debut in European football as well, featuring in three matches of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League qualification round. While October turned out especially fruitful for Basiladze (three goals and three assists), the Erovnuli Liga named him as the best player of the third part of this season.[6]

Four months later, Basiladze made his debut for the U19s against Azerbaijan.[9] Later he played in all six ties of the qualifying campaign, scoring in a 3–2 win over Scotland.[10]
