6th December has always been a special day in the Indian cricket calendar. There is a long and powerful list of cricketers born on this date. It is rare to see so many international cricketers born on the same day. Those names too, which have been the best in their respective eras. This date is even more interesting in Indian cricket, because not one or two, but five Indian cricketers celebrate their birthday on 6th December.
5 big names of Team India
Three current stars of Team India, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Shreyas Iyer celebrate their birthday on this day. These three players have been in the category of match-winners for Indian cricket in the last years.
- Jadeja will celebrate his 37th birthday this time.
- Bumrah will be 32 years old.
- Iyer will celebrate his 31st birthday.
Apart from these, Karun Nair, who scored a triple century for India, and RP Singh, who played an important role in India’s victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, were both born on this day. Meaning, birthdays of five Indian players in one day, which is a record in itself.
Foreign cricketers also make this list strong
6th December does not shine only with Indian names. Many foreign stars are also born on this date. The biggest name among them is Andrew Flintoff, England’s legendary all-rounder, who created history with his performance in the 2005 Ashes. Apart from this, Pakistan’s batsman Nasir Jamshed, New Zealand’s all-rounder Glenn Phillips, and Ireland’s young star Harry Tector also celebrate their birthday on this day.
These players have such a mix of batting, bowling and all-round ability that by combining them a strong international playing-11 can be prepared.
