Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Becomes India's Youngest T20I Debutant, Hasan Raza's World Record Stands
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi became India's youngest T20I debutant at 15 years and 99 days, breaking Sachin Tendulkar's 37-year-old record. However, he did not surpass the world record held by Pakistan's Hasan Raza, who debuted in international cricket at a claimed age of 14 years and 227 days. Raza's record remains controversial due to doubts about his exact age, leading the Pakistan Cricket Board to stop officially recognizing him as the youngest player. Other young debutants like Bangladesh's Mohammad Sharif have also entered international cricket in their mid-teens.
