#1 Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (16 years)

Sachin Tendulkar made his international debut in a Test match against Pakistan in 1989 at Karachi. Tendulkar was just 16 years old at that time and is still the youngest player to appear for India.

He went on to become one of the greatest players of all time but was dismissed for 15 in that game to Waqar Younis, with the match ending in a draw.
