Youngest T20I centurions for India

Scoring a century in any format of the sport is undoubtedly a terrific achievement for a batter in his/her professional career. However, what makes getting those massive runs tricky is in the shortest format of the game. As such things happen thick and fast in the T20s and batters need to be on their toes to perform swiftly. With this, there have been few cricketers who have etched their names in the history of scoring the tons in their formative years. In this list, we take a look at the top three youngest centurions in the T20I format for the Men in Blue-

3. KL Rahul – 24 years 131 days

Team India wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul became one of the youngest players to score a ton when he slammed one against the West Indies at the Central Broward Regional Park. The batter registered his century at the tender age of 24 years 131 days. He came in the middle order and blasted an unbeaten 110 runs from 51 balls, which included 12 boundaries and five maximums.

2. Suresh Raina – 23 years 156 days

In 2010, Raina became the youngest batter to score a century for the national side at the age of 23 years 156 days. The batter got 101 runs in 60 balls against South Africa at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia. The knock came in a high-octane clash in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20.

1. Shubman Gill – 23 years 146 days

Shubman Gill surpassed Raina’s record as he scored a magnificent ton at the age of 23 years 146 days. Gill ripped through the New Zealand bowling unit in the third and final T20I at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on February 1. He also surpassed Virat Kohli’s record of the highest score in T20Is (122) with his blistering knock of an unbeaten 126 runs.
