Domestic career

In 2012, Jadhav made his first triple century, scoring 327, the second-highest by a Maharashtra batsman in the Ranji Trophy, against Uttar Pradesh at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. During the 2013–14 Ranji Trophy season he scored 1,223 runs, including six centuries, the fourth-highest runs aggregate in the tournament's history. This helped Maharashtra make their first Ranji Trophy final since 1992/93. Jadhav also represented India A and West Zone cricket team.

In October 2019, he was named in India B's squad for the 2019–20 Deodhar Trophy.[8]

In January 2017 Jadhav scored 120 off 76 balls and shared a 200 run partnership with captain Virat Kohli to help India to register a win against England on his home ground. In the third match of the same series, he scored 90 runs and almost guided India home in a pursuit of 320. He was dismissed in the second last ball of the innings, and although, India lost the match Jadhav had by then firmly established his place in the middle order and was awarded the Player Of the Series award, having scored 232 runs in the series. Jadhav went on to represent India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 and has been an integral part of the Indian team since.

The following season he was signed by new franchise Kochi Tuskers Kerala, for whom he played only six matches that year. In 2013, he was re-signed by Delhi but was not retained by Delhi in the 2014 IPL auction before being bought back by the team for ₹ 20 million scoring 149 runs in 10 innings in 2014 for Delhi.
