Who is the youngest Indian to score a century in Test cricket?
Verified Answer
Sachin Tendulkar
Quiz Options
- Sachin Tendulkar
- Rohit Sharma
- Manjot Kalra
- Priya Punia
Explanation & Context
Manjot Kalra, though predominantly known for U-19 cricket, holds the record for the youngest Indian to score a century in first-class cricket, which is a precursor to Test cricket. (Note: For Test cricket specifically, it's a complex record often debated, but Kalra's U-19 feat is significant). Update: As of recent Tests, Shubman Gill is the youngest male Indian to score a Test century. However, the question could be interpreted to include first-class cricket which is closely linked.
