Oreshkin qualified for the2016 PDC World Darts Championship after defeating Anton Kolesov in the final of the Russian Qualifier.[1] He played againstSingaporeanPaul Lim in the preliminary round, winning in a sudden-death leg to qualify for a first-round match against 14th seedMervyn King. Oreshkin won the first two sets before King took nine of the next 12 legs to win 3–2.[2] Oreshkin partneredBoris Koltsov at theWorld Cup of Darts and they lost 5–3 to the Netherlands in the first round.[3]
Oreshkin and Koltsov met Australia in the second round of the2017 World Cup after defeating Hong Kong 5–3 in the first round. Oreshkin beatKyle Anderson 4–2, but Koltsov failed to win againstSimon Whitlock, meaning a doubles match was required to settle the tie. Russia easily won 4–0 to advance to the quarter-finals for the first time, where they could only pick up one leg in their singles defeats to the Welsh pair ofGerwyn Price andMark Webster.[4] After losing 2–0 toKevin Münch of Germany in the preliminary round of the2018 World Championship, he qualified for the World Cup again, but lost with Koltsov to Spain in the first round.
