3 youngest cricketers to debut for India before Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

India is on the verge of witnessing another teenage sensation take the international stage. Young batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is reportedly in line to make his India debut during the upcoming series against Ireland, a move that has generated significant excitement among fans and experts alike.

The left-handed batter has impressed with his fearless approach and remarkable performances at the age-group and domestic levels, earning a well-deserved opportunity in the national setup. If he takes the field, Sooryavanshi will become the youngest male cricketer ever to represent India in international cricket.

Over the years, only a handful of players have donned the Indian jersey at an exceptionally young age and gone on to make a mark on the global stage.

Here are 3 youngest players to debut for India before Sooryavanshi: 

3. Sachin Tendulkar

The legendary batter Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar became the youngest player to play for India at that time when he debuted against Pakistan on November 15, 1989. His age at the time of his much anticipated debut was 16 years and 205 days.

After taking the domestic cricket world by storm for Mumbai, he was given a chance to represent India at the highest level. Sachin could only manage to score 19 runs across two innings in his debut match. But what followed was history for Indian cricket, as he went on to become the highest run-scorer in international cricket.
