15 years and 27 days ... and totally polished already. To put this into context, Sachin was 16 when he made his debut.

At the age of just 15 years and 27 days, the Leeds-born Gibson strode out to keep wicket for Yorkshire against Durham MCCU at the picturesque Racecourse ground. He became the youngest county cricketer, surpassing a record set by Charles Young, who was 15 years and 131 days old when he played for Hampshire against Kent at Gravesend in 1867.
