India's star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja does not require an introduction. He boasts of all the firepower in the inventory - an explosive and dynamic hitter, wicket-taking bowler, and an exciting fielder. No surprise then that Shane Warne had called him a "Rockstar," underlining his exceptional abilities.

Jadeja, who turns 34 today, was born on December 6, 1988, in Jamnagar, Gujarat, and progressed through the Indian cricket youth ranks. He was Virat Kohli's deputy when India won the U-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2009. On 8 February 2009, he made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka, scoring an undefeated 60 off 77 balls.
