Career overview

How the India career developed.

This overview connects role, debuts and format context using the dated records listed below.

Ravindra Jadeja debuted in ODIs in February 2009 and became an all-round option through left-arm spin, lower-order batting and high-impact fielding. His Test record later grew into the strongest part of his international career.

Jadeja was Player of the Tournament at the 2013 Champions Trophy and formed a long-running Test spin partnership with Ravichandran Ashwin. Through August 2026, the checked record lists 356 Test wickets and 4,160 Test runs.

He retired from T20 internationals after India’s 2024 World Cup win but remained active in Tests and ODIs in the dated source record. Each format therefore carries a different latest-match date.
