- Vinod Kambli – 21 years 0 days:
Right on his 21st birthday, the ever mercurial Vinod Kambli became the holder of an extremely prestigious record, as he became the youngest Indian to score an ODI century. As fate may have it, the record belongs to Kambli even till this date. In an ODI against England in early 1993 at Jaipur, batting at number three, the Mumbai southpaw went on to create history with his maiden ODI century, coming on the stroke of his 21st birthday. Kambli’s story and ultimate downfall as a cricketer remains among the saddest tales this sport has ever seen. Nevertheless, he remains the record holder of an extremely precious feat.
