- Jayant made his international debut for India in October 2016 in a bilateral domestic ODI against New Zealand. It was the 5th and last match of that series and was decisive as the series was tied 2–2. Jayant gave clear figures of 1/8 in 4 overs as India bundled out New Zealand for just 79 runs in 23.1 overs. This was New Zealand’s lowest score against India and their shortest innings in an ODI.

Incidentally, his ODI and Test debuts took place at the same venue – Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy International Cricket Stadium In Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
