Jharkhand all-rounder Saurabh Tiwary's excellent performances in domestic cricket, and more importantly, in the IPL for Mumbai Indians, eventually earned him a place in the Indian team for the 2010 ODI series against Australia at home.

He was handed his ODI debut in the 2nd ODI at Visakhapatnam. Tiwary did not get to bowl as Australia piled up 289 in the first innings. India chased down the target, with Tiwary coming in to bat in the 45th over, and closing out the game with a 17-ball 12 in the company of a well set Suresh Raina.

He played only two more ODIs for India, the last of which was against New Zealand in the same year. He has never been selected again and with other middle-order options right now, Tiwary's chances of ODI comeback look bleak.
