Dheeraj Jadhav was a solid middle-order bat who transformed his career by recasting himself as a strokeplaying opening batsman. He entered the Indian selectors' radar after an excellent domestic season in 2003-04, and continued to impress for India A. His impressive century in an India v India A warm-up game just before the series against Australia in 2004-05 earned him a call-up into the Test squad for the fourth Test at Mumbai. He joined the ICL, played for Mumbai Champs, before cancelling his contract in 2009.
