Shreyas Iyer
At 29, Shreyas Iyer, the dynamic middle-order batsman, has already left an indelible mark on Indian cricket since his debut in November 2017. In the 10 Test matches he’s played, Iyer has showcased his prowess with 666 runs at an impressive average of 44.40. His white-ball performances are even more noteworthy, amassing 2,331 runs in 58 ODIs at an average of 49.59. The recent ICC Cricket World Cup saw Iyer making history, becoming the first middle-order batsman to score over 500 runs in a single edition.
Ravindra Jadeja
Celebrating his 35th birthday, Ravindra Jadeja stands tall as one of India’s premier all-rounders. Since his debut in February 2009, Jadeja has been a force to reckon with, contributing significantly with both bat and ball. With 67 Tests, 197 ODIs, and 64 T20Is under his belt, Jadeja has amassed a total of 6,017 runs and claimed 546 wickets across formats. His exceptional fielding skills make him a complete package, and his IPL success with teams like Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings further solidifies his cricketing legacy.
Jasprit Bumrah
At 30, Jasprit Bumrah is the pace spearhead of the Indian cricket team. Making his international debut in January 2016, Bumrah has evolved into a match-winner across all formats. With 128 Test wickets, 149 ODI wickets, and 74 T20I wickets, he has consistently troubled batsmen with his unorthodox bowling action. Bumrah’s ability to deliver under pressure has been pivotal in India’s success in recent years.
Karun Nair
Turning 32 today, Karun Nair is a top-order batsman who made his debut in June 2016. Though his international career has seen limited appearances, Nair made headlines with a triple century in only his third Test match, becoming only the second Indian to achieve this feat after Virender Sehwag. While he has faced challenges making a consistent mark, Nair’s talent is undeniable, and cricket enthusiasts await his return to international glory.
RP Singh
Adding a touch of nostalgia, former Indian fast bowler RP Singh turns 38 today. With a debut in September 2005, Singh played 14 Tests, 58 ODIs, and 10 T20Is, accumulating 40, 69, and 15 wickets in each format, respectively. Singh played a crucial role in India’s triumph in the 2007 T20 World Cup, delivering vital performances with the ball.
