He was selected for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. He made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka on 8 February 2009 and scored an unbeaten 60 in that match. Jadeja took his place at No. 7 in the ODI team in late-2009.
However, his Test debut came almost four years later. After his impressive performance at the start of Ranji Trophy season 2012–13 in which he scored two 300+ scores in 4 matches, he made his test debut in December 2012, against England at Nagpur in which he bowled 70 overs and picked 3/117.
During the second ODI in the India-England series at Kochi, Jadeja smashed 61 off just 37 balls which took India to a total of 285.
