The Saurashtra cricketer took 10 wickets from three matches in the recently-concluded Test series against Sri Lanka, while he just managed to score 40 runs from the same number of matches.
Despite being a permanent member in the Indian Test side, Jadeja has been overlooked for the limited-overs sides, and last played a match for India wearing the blue colours against West Indies back in July.
Virat Kohli and co clinched the Test series 1-0, by winning the second Test by an innings and 239 runs. The other two Tests, meanwhile, ended in thrilling draws.
