Career
2025: International debut
Jadhav made his international debut at the 2025 Summer World University Games, where he was seeded sixth in the individual category during the rankings round.[3] He, along with Kushal Dalal and Hrithik Sharma, won the silver medal in the men's team event after losing to Turkey by a margin of a point.[4] In the individual event, Jadhav comfortably reached the semis, where he faced his Indian compatriot Dalal and advanced to the final after a stellar near-10 during the shoot-off round. In the gold-medal match, Jadhav hit consecutive 14 arrows and was one arrow away from setting the new FISU Games Record, but his last arrow went for a nine and won the match against Great Britain's Ajay Scott by 149-148. He also won India's first individual gold medal in the 2025 Summer Universiade.[5]
2026: Career breakthrough
Jadhav won his maiden Archery World Cup bronze medal in the men's individual compound event in Stage 2 in Shanghai, defeating Denmark's Martin Damsbo by 147–144 after trailing in the opening end.[6]
In May, he qualified for the 2026 Asian Games after finishing first in the men's compound individual selection trials.[7]
