Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, on the other hand, has started working on his strength and fitness after recovering from the stress fracture on his back.
Karun Nair, who once scored a triple century in Tests, last played for India in a Test match against Australia in Dharamsala in March 2017.
Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) wished their star all-rounder Jadeja with a heartwarming message on Twitter.
"Here's a man who's capable of bowling and sprinting across the wicket to whack the same delivery with royal glory and leap to the boundary-line to dismiss himself with a single handed stunner! Dear Birthday, Happy Sir Jadeja!" CSK tweeted.
