The youngest Indian test captain
The record of becoming the youngest captain in Tests for India is Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who was to be known as Tiger Pataudi. Tiger Pataudi took charge of India’s Test team at the age of 21 years and 3 months. He first captained the West Indies in 1962.
Sachin Tendulkar is at number two
Sachin Tendulkar is second in the list of India’s youngest captain in the Test. Tendulkar became the Test captain of Team India at the age of 23 years and 5 months. Kapil Dev is at number three in this case. Kapil Dev took the captaincy of the Indian Test team at the age of 24 years and 2 months. Former all -rounder Ravi Shastri has captained India in just one Test match. He captained the only Test in 1988 against West Indies at the age of 25 years and 8 months.
Shubman Gill will become the fifth youngest Test captain
Shubman Gill has now become the fifth youngest player to captain the Test for India. Gill is going to captain India in Tests at the age of 25 years and 9 months.
