The sixth of December is a special day in Indian cricket as three current key players were born on this day. On the occasion, the cricket community extended warm wishes to the trio of Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja, who share the same birth date. Test triple-centurion Karun Nair and former Indian left-arm pacer RP Singh were also born today.Shreyas Iyer turned 27 while Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja turned 28 and 33 today. Jadeja and Iyer were members of the Indian team that triumphed over the New Zealand team in the second Test in Mumbai. Jasprit Bumrah took some much-needed rest by skipping this home series against the Kiwis team. The ace pacer will soon be back in action when India tours South Africa for a Test and ODI series.Current and former cricketers took notice of the birthdays of the trio and took to Twitter to send them special wishes. Virender Sehwag led the wishes with his trademark humor-filled wishes. Soon, other cricketers also joined Sehwag in wishing the three of them a wonderful birthday.Cricketing community sends special wishes to Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra JadejaVirender Sehwag@virendersehwagAaj ka Date -6/12 .Half dozen/ One Dozen.
