After claiming three big wickets in Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad and Umar Akmal on debut, Bhuvneshwar made some space for himself in the ODI team as well. He made his ODI debut against the same opponents on December 30, 2012, at Chennai. Riding his consistent wicket-taking abilities, Bhuvneshwar made his Test debut when Australia toured India in February 2013.
