Is December 6 the Luckiest Day To Be Born As Cricketer? Fan Points Out Interesting Trivia About Team India Playing XI for 4th Test vs England

In cricket, luck plays a factor in the selection or non-selection of a player.  A fan on the social media platform X pointed out an interesting trivia about Team India’s playing XI in the ongoing 4th Test versus England, which includes as many as three players born on December 6, while one sits on the bench. Pacer Anshul Kamboj, who earned his maiden India cap on Day 1 of the IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025, replacing Karun Nair in XI,  all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, and pacer Jasprit Bumrah, already immovable members of the eleven, were all born on December 6, making the date the luckiest day to be born as a cricketer.  A Look When Anshul Kamboj Took All 10 Wickets in an Innings in Ranji Trophy As He Makes International Debut During IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025 (Watch Video)
