@mtahirnawaz I figured it out. You have to put selected={Date.parse('03/07/2019')}

I encountered this problem as well, @jylopez fix worked for me, too. Just to illustrate the situation -

In one context, I was setting the value of selected simply as the result of new Date(), which would be something like:

Thu Mar 12 2020 14:47:32 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)

In those cases, I did not need to .parse() the data.

However, sometimes I was populating the datepicker with data from the DB, which was received by the client as a UTC string like 2020-02-21T16:00:00.000Z - passing that to new Date() would return:

Fri Feb 21 2020 11:00:00 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)

In those cases, I did need to .parse() the data - I assume there’s some discrepancy between Eastern Daylight Time and Eastern Standard Time.

Anyway, I just made a point to parse whatever data the picker is receiving, and all is well.
